Introducing the Founding Partners of Ahead by Bett

Our Founding Partners are our key collaborators for the Ahead by Bett content programme. They work alongside us to provide a sounding board for our plans and ideas for the show, as well as helping us shape the programmes to ensure we are meeting the needs of our visitors and exhibitors.
  • “Higher education institutions around the world are working at great pace to adapt to new approaches to learning, address accelerated digital transformation, and adjust to and benefit from business model disruption. Supporting universities through this process, Ahead by Bett provides a forum to connect with cutting-edge technology solution providers to jointly tackle urgent business and pedagogical challenges. We are proud to support this event.”
