I didn’t expect it. But when they called Beekee as winner 🏆 of the 2050NOW La Maison #ExploreSummit Grand Prize in Paris yesterday, alongside MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub's Carbon-Cement Super-capacitor project (concrete as bulk energy storage solution) something shifted: Education + Energy = Learning Never Stops 🤩 In that moment, it felt like a clear signal to keep pushing forward – to tackle the most urgent challenges of our time. We’re beginning to understand what it takes to build a more resilient, inclusive society. The science, the technology, the solutions – they’re already here. No internet? No power? No problem. That’s what we’ve been building at Beekee with our incredible partners: digital education and training that reaches the most remote, disconnected places – and even those nearby, where reliable access is still out of reach. This recognition isn’t just ours. It’s for every learner still waiting for a chance. For every trainer who keeps showing up. And for every partner who believes learning must leave no one behind – from crisis responders, to companies training farmers in sustainable practices, to schools providing safe, offline access to protect learners from online risks. I’m proud. I’m grateful. And more committed than ever. Thank you to the amazing team at 2050NOW La Maison and the organizations that make it possible Solar Impulse Foundation, Veolia, LVMH, ENGIE, Bouygues Group, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), HEC Paris, CNRS, BETC, SNCF Voyageurs

✨ Big ideas, bold questions, and plenty of brainpower! Today, a powerhouse group of EdTech minds gathered for the European conversation on testbedding event at Hangar K and wow, what a day! Together with Global EdTech Testbed Network (GETN) the EmpowerED Project, Ifous Edtest and edtechstation, we brought together researchers, innovators, and testbed trailblazers from across Europe to dive into: 🔍 How do we really make EdTech work in real classrooms, with real impact? One thing was clear: 💬 collaboration is key, and the future of EdTech testing is brighter together. 💪 Thanks to everyone who joined today! Next on the agenda? #LBF25 tomorrow! #edtech #education #technology Roman Bruegger Annelies Volckaert Bart Boelen Susan Henriksson Thomas Van Cauwenberghe Alison Clark-Wilson Peter Gillis Inge Volman Martijn Luijks Marjo Kenttälä Helsinki Education Hub (HEH) edtechstation NOLAI Learnovate Centre, Trinity College Dublin Ifous Edtest Swiss EdTech Collider European Edtech Alliance
