Over the past decade, Ireland has established itself as a global powerhouse for learning technology. Now, it is time to formally celebrate and benchmark that innovation at home.

​

Whether you are transforming early years engagement, helping primary and post-primary teachers save valuable time, scaling higher education VLEs, or driving enterprise SkillTech, these awards are designed to benchmark, celebrate, and amplify your work.

​

Applications are officially open for the Inaugural Ireland EdTech Awards 2026.

​

Why Apply?

​​Every submission will be evaluated through strict pedagogical and operational lense tailored to your target sector (from Aistear in Early Years to Leaving Cert curriculum alignment, university VLE integrations, and corporate L&D ROI).

​

Your application will be audited by independent specialist examiners throughout September, with shortlisted finalists reviewed by our Executive Panel in October and November, with a Gala Awards event to announce the winners across all categories in early December. Every entry will receive an EdTech Ireland Evaluation Rating.
