EdTech Market Deep-Dive: Australia

The 2023 EdTechNZ Annual Member Survey revealed that Australia serves as the primary export market for New Zealand EdTech firms, especially within the K-12 sector.

With an internationally recognised education sector, and significant government investments in digital adaptation, Australia’s EdTech market has experienced significant growth.

Australia’s sizable education market, along with its proximity to New Zealand, offers emerging EdTech exporters from New Zealand a cost-effective and low-risk entry point. It also provides an ideal environment for testing and learning, serving as a gateway to global markets.

Join us online to delve deeper into the Australian EdTech market. Our panel of experts, including New Zealand EdTech exporters to Australia, representatives from the New Zealand EdTech industry, and government agencies, will share their insights and market research findings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Australian education and EdTech landscape.

This event presents an invaluable opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions and gain a nuanced understanding of the EdTech market in Australia.
