Your Guide to EdTech Hub’s UNGA Presence and other Autumn Events

Are you going to UNGA 2025?  

EdTech Hub will be at UNGA 2025 to share insights, learn, and connect with global partners shaping the future of education evidence. Our leadership, including Verna Lalbeharie, Lea Simpson, Daniel Plaut and Tyler Zang, will participate in key conversations, gearing towards shaping the future of education, and a deep dive into the future of financing education especially in foundational learning. We are also aware of the emerging technology and are keen to explore conversations that dive into equitable AI in action. 

As a global research and innovation hub, we generate evidence, tools, and partnerships that help governments and organisations make smarter choices on EdTech. If you’re attending UNGA, connect with us to explore how technology can drive equitable, sustainable learning outcomes.

Alongside the UN General Assembly, we’re hosting a series of virtual conversations spotlighting our work in AI and teacher engagement, technical assistance through our Helpdesk, and country-level collaboration through our country engagement model. These sessions will showcase how we’re supporting education systems with evidence, innovation, and inclusive networks.
