About Us

We aim to empower learning with technology that embodies our unique Aotearoa New Zealand identity.

EdTechNZ is Aotearoa New Zealand’s education technology community. 

We bring together EdTech founders, operators, educators, education providers, government representatives and investors, who share a passion for the potential that education technology can bring for New Zealand’s prosperity. 

Education is the foundation on which all of New Zealand will prosper and grow. As digital learning becomes increasingly borderless, our community is positioned to have a greater impact on the future of education, both here at home and globally.

What we do 

As the peak body and voice of education technology in Aotearoa, we’re driving the positive impact of tech in learning, while supporting the growth of New Zealand’s EdTech exports.

We connect, support, and amplify those building the future of learning. Through our programs of work, events, and advocacy, we help EdTech companies at every stage of their journey, from early-stage startups to established innovators looking to scale internationally. 

We’re here to: 

  • Connect you with the people, partners, and opportunities that matter, both in Aotearoa and overseas 
  • Support your growth through targeted programs of work, market insights, and member-only resources 
  • Advocate for the education technology sector through research, thought leadership, and policy engagement with government 
  • Accelerate New Zealand’s EdTech ecosystem on the global stage 

Our work includes community events that bring innovators and educators together, member spotlights that showcase your mahi, priority access to industry insights, and pathways to international markets. We work closely with government agencies, local businesses, offshore partners, and other Tech New Zealand communities to generate valuable benefits for our members.

Part of something bigger 

EdTechNZ is part of Tech New Zealand, a connected network of 16 communities representing thousands of organisations and tens of thousands of workers nationwide. This means your membership amplifies your voice across Aotearoa’s entire tech ecosystem, giving you access to policy influence, innovation opportunities, and connections that extend far beyond EdTech alone. 

Our commitment 

He waka eke noa—we’re all in this together. 

We recognise and honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi, striving to work in partnership with Māori as tangata whenua. Tikanga and Te Reo Māori are a highly valued part of our organisational fabric and reinforce our unique position in the world. 

Education is a people sector, and we’re building a community that reflects that. Whether you’re developing new learning solutions, implementing innovative practices in the classroom, or investing in the future of education, EdTechNZ is your community. 

Founded in 2017, we’re a 100% member-funded not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation, governed by an Executive Council made up of industry leaders, and proudly independent in our voice for the sector.
