Academic Roots to EdTech Startup: The Evolution of the eDoer Platform

Originating from a decade of academic research, the eDoer platform has successfully navigated the complex journey from an initial research concept to a market-ready, AI-powered educational startup – the very first start-up of TIB. Driven by the vision of democratising education and closing the modern skills gap, eDoer's underlying technology was rigorously developed and validated through numerous research and innovation projects funded by the German government and the European Union. This talk will outline the critical milestones of this transition. It will cover how early prototypes were tested in real-world scenarios, and how the platform evolved into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Finally, the talk will highlight the practical challenges and lessons learned when moving from academic grants to validating a viable business model. 

Where: Vortragsraum Tech.-Nat. at TIB main building
When: 16 - 18 o'clock
