Views from ASU+GSV: Education innovation and technology

Welcome to the third ‘Big Picture’ event!

Navitas Ventures made its mark last month at ASU+GSV, an annual conference for the education technology and innovation community. For attendees, it’s a chance to be seen and heard by people who want to change the world, whether pitching an education startup idea, raising funds, investing in education, or meeting and connecting with others to share ideas.

With an international delegation including six of our University Partners from Australia, the UK and the US, Navitas participated in sessions and conversations along with 3,500 CEOs, entrepreneurs, educators, investors and industry leaders from around the world, all pushing for change in education.

In this online panel session recording you’ll hear directly from those who attended about the big ideas, themes and trends from the summit, and they’ll explore the implications for Navitas and the education industry as a whole. For a quick taste of the summit atmosphere, dip into this one-minute video.
