Labster Named to Global EdTech Prize Shortlist

July 11, 2025

Labster has been named to the Top 30 shortlist for the inaugural Global EdTech Prize, organized by T4 Education.

The shortlist recognizes trailblazing education technology solutions that are driving change and grappling with the most crucial challenges in today’s classrooms. The prize, and these shortlists, are determined directly by educator judges, championing innovative tech solutions that actually work for the people who matter most – educators, their students, and their communities.

“All of our shortlisted tools have one thing in common. They have harnessed technology in the service of education and they are making a difference. From enhancing literacy development to building lifelong skills, supporting social mobility, and closing learning gaps, the Global EdTech Prize measures not only innovation, but impact. By giving a global platform to these tools, we help scale that impact at a time when it has never been more needed.” - Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the Global EdTech Prize

Winners will be announced live at the World Schools Summit on November 16, 2025.
