SKIDOS Named Finalist for 2025 EdTechX Award: Celebrating Innovation in Education

SKIDOS is thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted as a finalist for the prestigious 2025 EdTechX Award, a global recognition of companies driving transformative innovation in education, training, and work sectors. This nomination celebrates SKIDOS’s unwavering commitment to creating engaging, curriculum-aligned learning experiences that empower children aged 2-11 to thrive academically and emotionally.

The EdTechX Awards, organized by IBIS Capital, recognize organizations that are shaping the future of learning through technology. With over 1,200 leading companies since 2013, collectively raising €12 billion and generating significant industry milestones, the awards highlight SKIDOS’s impact among early-stage innovators and established EdTech leaders.

“We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as a finalist for the EdTechX Award,” said Aditya Prakash, Co-Founder of SKIDOS. “This nomination reflects our team’s dedication to blending fun, education, and emotional well-being in games that inspire kids to learn and grow. Being part of this global community of innovators motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries of what learning can be.”

SKIDOS: Redefining Learning Through Play

SKIDOS’s award-nominated platform delivers over 100 educational games that teach math, reading, phonics and emotional literacy, tailored to preschool through 5th-grade curricula. Games like the SKIDOS Hospital Game foster empathy and problem-solving, allowing kids to role-play as doctors or patients while exploring health routines. Our Rekindle Minds module, based on CASEL’s social-emotional learning framework, nurtures skills like self-awareness and decision-making through interactive videos and mini-games.

Recent partnerships with Angry Birds and The Smurfs enhance SKIDOS’s offerings. Angry Birds’ action-packed mechanics and The Smurfs’ whimsical narratives create immersive learning worlds. Guided by the SKIDOS mascots Fix, Neta, and Moyo, these experiences make learning joyful and inclusive, featuring neurodiversity-friendly elements such as voice-overs and high-contrast visuals.

EdTechX Summit: A Stage for Global Innovation

The EdTechX flagship event, limited to 400 senior industry leaders, fosters collaboration among founders, investors, and policymakers shaping education’s future. SKIDOS is excited to connect with the global EdTech community at this prestigious gathering, set against the iconic backdrop of London’s South Bank.

The nomination underscores SKIDOS’s alignment with EdTechX’s mission to celebrate innovation, impact, and growth. Past winners, like Kahoot! and Busuu, have achieved significant milestones within 12-24 months of receiving the award, highlighting the platform’s role in elevating industry leaders.
