Survey of Quebec’s educational technology industry

In the winter of 2021, Aviseo was tasked by Association Edteq to highlight concrete development approaches to foster collaboration between Quebec organizations working in the field of educational technology and end-users of educational technology, i.e., education stakeholders, students, and their families. To be able to suggest development approaches, Aviseo described the educational technology ecosystem in Quebec, conceptualized the industry value chain, and analyzed the EdTech market and ecosystem in other countries. Market threats and opportunities were identified during the process; the COVID-19 variable was also addressed in the study.
