Bett Asia 2022 Startup Competition

Brand new for 2022, we are proud to launch the Bett Asia Startup Competition!

Produced in collaboration with SuperCharger Ventures, the competition will recognise the very best that Asia’s EdTech startup space has to offer, showcasing cutting-edge innovations that are powering change in education across the region.

The competition will culminate in an in-person pitching final at Bett Asia 2022, during which eight finalists will battle it out in front of a shark tank-style judging panel of experts.

In line with Bett Asia’s theme, this year’s inaugural competition will ask startups to demonstrate how their solutions drive the future of teaching and learning to enable and champion ‘Education as a Catalyst for Change’. Our judges will be looking for innovative solutions and products which unlock new opportunities for education, society and industry to thrive.
