Founded by T4 Education with the support of Owl Ventures and Digital Promise, the Global EdTech Prize recognises trailblazing tools grappling with the most crucial challenges in education
Peekapak has today been named in the Top 25 shortlist for the second annual Global EdTech Prize in the Startup category. Founded in 2025 by T4 Education, with the support of Owl Ventures and Digital Promise, the Global EdTech Prize recognises those trailblazing solutions that are driving change and grappling with the most crucial challenges in today’s classrooms.
Judged by educators themselves, the prize provides a vital platform to help companies and organisations scale their products, tools, or services and their impact worldwide. It celebrates EdTechs that are making a real difference to the next generation and champions innovative tech solutions that actually work for the people who matter most – educators, their students, and their communities.
The prize is awarded in three categories: Majors, Start-Ups, and Non-Profits, with winners announced live at the World Schools Summit in London on January 17, 2027.
Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the Global EdTech Prize, said:
“I want to congratulate Peekapak in Canada on being named in the Top 25 shortlists for this, the second Global EdTech Prize. Judged by educators themselves, the Global EdTech Prize exists to bridge the gap between technology and teachers and give a global platform to the solutions that are making a real impact in classrooms, so that impact can be scaled worldwide.”
Ami Shah, CEO and Co-Founder of Peekapak, said:
“This achievement is beyond words. The entire team is thrilled and so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish, and the lives of students we’ve been able to touch worldwide. We’re truly grateful to have our efforts recognized.”
