IU Group wins major awards
The panel at the EdTechX awards in London have decided. Their verdict? IU Group’s mission to make high-quality learning available to everyone is making waves across the education sector.
You need to know that the place you plan to study has a good reputation. That it’s a true innovator but that it also has the proven know-how and the established connections that can help you translate qualifications into career success.
That’s why news that IU’s parent organisation has won the coveted EdTechX Leviathan Award should be of interest to everyone dreaming of a better future.
An award from industry experts
The award ceremony came as the centrepiece of London EdTech Week. Over 5000 inspirational education innovators, investors and interested parties from around the world came together to share ideas and to chart an exciting, learner-led future. From sessions about different students’ needs in different markets or how the future of AI can help satisfy them, every topic was being discussed by industry insiders.
The fact that awards were given by these experts is partly why recognition with a Leviathan Award was particularly satisfying. Each year, the award is given only to the most mature and profitable businesses in the sector. Judges praised IU Group’s ‘rapid growth trajectory’ and the way it ‘democratises education at scale’.
What makes this win even more of an achievement is the fact that there were six other candidates in the same category, ranging from an innovative note-taking app to a global education technology company. Giving the award to an education provider such as IU shows how far we have come in a short space of time.
This is the second year in succession that IU Group have claimed the award. It is also one of two recent wins that the IU Group are celebrating. The second is just as significant for the student experience.
Congratulations are due to the hard work of IU’s dedicated staff and, of course, to our students. We’re excited to have them with us on the journey towards a future where education is innovative and completely uncompromising.
