It’s always fun to see and hear pitches by the finalists of SIIA’s Innovation Incubator program, held next month during the Education Business Forum in New York. The program has provided support for dozens of emerging edtech products and companies and is open to applicants from almost any sort of startup—from academic and non-profit institutions to established companies with newly developed technologies. This year’s lineup includes an adaptive learning platform, a digital assessment service, and a streaming public-radio curriculum supplement. Finalists were selected based on the company’s education focus a market need for the innovation, and originality. We’ll be sure to report on the competition! —Kevin Hogan, Content Director
