Yesterday, the TyTo Tech 500 Power List was released and we’re delighted to announce that that BESA’s Director General, Caroline Wright, was selected as the fifth most influential individual in the EdTech sector, as well as ranking overall within the top 50 influencers in the UK tech sector.

Compiled by TyTo, the Tech 500 Power List uses online and offline methods to research the top tech influencers across the UK, France and Germany. It’s the first study to combine social, online and offline influence to build a robust data-driven ranking that isn’t reliant on single metrics or subjective opinion. 

Inclusion in the #Tech500 is a testament to Caroline’s commitment to championing the UK education sector, representing over 350 suppliers, as well as running EdTech Exchange, Europe’s largest network of EdTech founders. Providing members with mentoring, support and a programme of events, the EdTech Exchange is a space to bring entrepreneurs together to share best practice through peer-to-peer learning.

Congratulations again to Caroline for this achievement!
