The EdTech Awards 2026

via EdTech Digest

At the ever-evolving intersection of education and technology, we are proud to recognize the finalists and winners of The EdTech Awards 2026!

Year after year, this community continues to raise the bar—and this year's program is no exception. The depth, diversity, and sheer caliber of submissions reflect a field not only evolving, but accelerating. From classrooms to corporations, from early learning to lifelong upskilling, the entries we received represent a powerful cross-section of those actively shaping the future of education in real time.

We are no longer asking whether technology will transform learning—it already has. The question now is how it will continue to do so, and who will lead the way. Artificial intelligence has moved from novelty to necessity, demanding not only innovation but responsibility. New models of schooling, credentialing, and workforce alignment are taking hold. And across every sector, there is a growing recognition that learning must be more human-centered, more adaptive, and more connected to the world beyond the classroom.

Amid this momentum, one thing is clear: progress is not being driven by chance—it is being driven by you. The innovators, leaders, and trendsetters recognized here are not waiting for change; they are designing it, building it, and scaling it. They are challenging assumptions, redefining norms, and expanding what is possible for learners everywhere.

Congratulations to World Wide Technology's Michael Sink, National (U.S.) Leader finalist in the EdTech Leadership Awards!

The EdTech Awards, presented by EdTech Digest—now in its 16th year and the world's largest awards program for education technology—continues to honor those who are transforming education through technology in ways that are meaningful, measurable, and lasting. And this year, more than ever, we are reminded that the future of learning is not a distant horizon—it is unfolding now, shaped by the vision and determination of this extraordinary community.
