Start Up plein

EMPOWERING TEACHING AND LEARNING

Innovation of Education & IT, that's what IPON represents. A majority of this innovation doesn't come only from the schools itself but also from companies.  The many education startups show that the education branch keeps evolving. IPON is very excited about these startups that have a focus on education. But we know it's important that they use the knowhow and experience that is already present. We promote conversations with various education parties when a product is still in development.

From the submitted proposals we shall choose 20 startups. These parties would love to show you how they want to help challenge the status quo. Meet them on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 February at IPON's Startup Plein. Furthermore, they have the opportunity to win the IPON Start Up Award 2024. Besides eternal fame, the winner will receive exposure on ipon.nl & IPON Magazine throughout the year.
