Recognition from EdTech Digest

Celebrating its 16th year, the EdTech Awards is the world’s largest recognition program for education technology, honoring the most impactful tools, leaders, and innovators across K–12, higher education, and workforce learning.

“We’re no longer asking if technology will transform learning—it already has. The leaders honored here are defining what comes next,” said Victor Rivero, Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest. “The future of learning isn’t something we’re waiting for—it’s unfolding right now, shaped by innovators who aren’t reacting to change, but creating it across classrooms, workplaces, and beyond.”

The program recognizes contributions that make learning more accessible, relevant, and effective—aligning closely with Avant’s mission to bridge the gap between potential and proficiency.
