The annual Awards represent a partnership between BESA, Bett pioneers and the trade association representing the educational supply industry, and Acential Events, the organisers of Bett.
The awards encourage and recognise outstanding education sector resources, learning solutions and companies. The judges, who are all educational professionals, look for what works in the classroom or the school setting in terms of design, cost-effectiveness, support of higher order thinking skills and effective learning and teaching styles.

Patrick Hayes, director of BESA and chair of judges for the Bett Awards said: “If you’re looking for evidence that the UK EdTech sector is world-leading, look no further than the fantastically innovative winners of the Bett Awards 2017. Our esteemed judging panel of educationalists faced a huge task in deciding which of the hundreds of entries should win or be highly commended.”
“Well done to all the winners. With more outstanding entrants than ever before, it is a remarkable achievement. The global reputation of the Bett Awards means these companies – indeed all the finalists – have an honour that is recognised and respected by educators across the world.”
