Considered the most influential accolade in the industry, the annual Bett Awards are delivered in partnership between BESA, the trade association representing the educational suppliers industry, and Ascential Events, the organisers of Bett, the world’s leading edtech show.
The awards highlight outstanding education sector products, learning solutions, companies and people. The panel of judges, comprised of education experts, evaluate each entry based on its appreciation of the sector’s needs and commitment to supporting education standards.
Patrick Hayes, director of BESA and chair of judges for the Bett Awards, said: “This year we had more entries than ever before from all over the globe, and our panel of esteemed judges had an incredibly hard time to select the winners – even harder than usual!
“To be shortlisted is a great achievement in itself, but to be crowned a Bett Awards winner at such a time of global EdTech innovation is something to truly celebrate. On behalf of all the judges, I would like to congratulate the winning companies – their teams should be extremely proud of receiving an accolade that is recognised by schools across the world.”
