Our goal with this recommendation paper is to share the lessons learned from the project Edupreneurs: Networking and Empowering Education Entrepreneurs Towards a Resilient EdTech Ecosystem. The project was undertaked in Southern Africa, funded by the Southern Africa Innovation Support (SAIS 2) programme.
The Edupreneurs Recommendation Paper narrates the journey that the Namibia Business Innovation Institute (NBII), Glowdom and Eduix have embarked in developing a resilient digital education ecosystem in the Southern Africa region.
The main purpose of the Edupreneurs project was to build a robust and resilient education business ecosystem with a bottom-up approach and a broad-reaching strategic partnership network sufficiently competent to deal with possible emerging adversities.
We have done that by
1) developing a digital platform to network B2B and B2C education stakeholders;
2) providing capacity building for digitalizing education processes;
3) sharing lessons learned and best practices on the process.
Bringing the latest thinking and cutting-edge research from across our global network, this recommendation paper aimed to bring the most pressing business issues to life. The challenges covered included how leaders can rethink and reinvent their businesses to succeed, digital disruption, workforce and skills – all in the context of the post-COVID-19 world.
