The EdTech4BY Incubation Programmes are designed to empower innovators and educators from the Belarusian community across Europe who are committed to transforming education through technology. Whether you are an early-stage EdTech startup looking to develop impactful solutions, or an educator eager to design and deliver high-quality online learning content, these programmes offer you the structure, support, and mentorship to take your ideas to the next level.
Over the course of several months, selected participants will receive hands-on guidance, technical training, and access to a collaborative community of peers and experts. Through this programme, you will not only build and test real-world solutions— you will contribute meaningfully to the future of learning in Belarus and beyond.
It is important to note, that in order to participate in the EdTech Incubation Programmes, the content must be directly related to Belarusian education and training, support teaching methodologies, enhance student engagement, or foster skills development. Innovative use of technology is encouraged, whether through artificial intelligence, gamification, adaptive learning, or other new tools that improve teaching effectiveness.
The incubation programmes will run from December 2025 through June 2026, lasting either 7 or 9 months.
