About EdTech Impact
The evidence engine
edtech has always needed.
“Every school deserves to know if their technology is effective — or not. We’re building the missing evidence infrastructure for every school, every context, every system.”

Our Approach
We provide the translation layer between edtech and real impact in schools
The edtech market generates vast amounts of data - usage metrics, learning analytics, deployment records - but data alone does not answer the question that matters. Real, first-hand classroom experience is what closes the gap between what a product claims and what schools actually live.
Our platform-led approach continuously compounds - combining authentic user experiences, deep learning tracking, and cross-context benchmarking to build evidence that gets richer over time. The output isn’t a static report that ages. It’s a compounding evidence picture that schools are in control of.
Research and Impact
Built with educators, for educators.
From classroom pilots to national programmes, EdTech Impact has been building, testing and refining evidence frameworks with educators across the full breadth of the edtech market since 2010.
In policy and practice
Through our platform, we provide the evidence infrastructure that schools, testbeds, and edtech providers need - running structured, always-on evaluations simultaneously, providing ongoing insights and reports on-demand.
Our work spans the UK, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. As one of only a few organisations holding evidence at this scale and granularity, we play an active role in shaping how education technology is evaluated, regulated, and adopted - contributing to national standards, intergovernmental governance, and the research frameworks that shape how edtech is adopted globally.
