Coordinated by European Schoolnet (EUN), a network of 33 education ministries, EmpowerED brings together 11 partners and an expanding group of Associated Partners, to support closer collaboration in the digital education sector in Europe between all levels and sectors, K12, H.E. and VET.

It will leverage existing but still loosely coordinated EdTech ecosystem groups in order to establish and animate a new European EdTech Community for exchange, dialogue and collaboration that involves diverse ecosystem actors from at least 15 countries. The project will not only help to consolidate and amplify the work of current EdTech organisations supporting start-ups and SMEs (including incubators, accelerators, testbeds, investors, Digital Education Hubs etc.) and enable them to engage more directly with policymakers in education and other ministries, but will also provide new databases, training modules, events and open source guidelines to support, strengthen and grow this community.
