Celebrating its 16th year, the US-based program is the world's largest recognition program for education technology, recognizing the biggest names in edtech—and those who soon will be.

Featuring edtech’s best and brightest, the annual program shines a spotlight on cool tools, inspiring leaders, and innovative trendsetters across the K-12, Higher Education, and Skills and Workforce sectors.

“Congratulations to The EdTech Awards 2026 finalists and winners! We’re no longer asking if technology will transform learning—it already has.

Reed, ActivEd CEO and Founder. “Today we are thrilled to have the Walkabouts Platform recognized as a Trendsetter Finalist as our team has blazed a trail to integrate kinesthetic learning into academic content to ensure children have opportunities to move as they learn which promotes healthy cognition, focus, and even improves classroom behavior!”
