Prof. Tish Jennings, University of Virginia, and Prof. Bettina Lucia Amrhein, University of Duisburg-Essen, shared valuable insights from their research and the challenges of scaling an entrepreneurial venture born out of research. The conversation was followed by participatory roundtable discussions that explored innovation processes and funding landscapes, highlighting opportunities and barriers in developing scalable models of knowledge transfer. This event was geared toward entrepreneurs and innovators interested in research transfer, EdTech—especially those involved in trans-Atlantic collaboration—who are shaping the future of entrepreneurship and learning.

How can we use design thinking and interdisciplinary approaches to spark meaningful change?

What does it take to scale these innovations across diverse educational ecosystems?

And how can we build more inclusive, effective, sustainable and future-ready partnerships?

Together, we explored how innovation, creative strategies, and trans-Atlantic collaboration can drive the future of educational research and EdTech.

Let's shape what's next—together!
