About the Panel Discussion

HR Leaders and Emerge, the leading global edtech early-stage investor, are partnering to bring you the 20:20 vision list of the 40 workforce development companies every CHRO and L&D leader needs to know about. Workforce development edtech is a busy space, and it can be hard to keep up with innovation. Emerge has been at the centre of this space for 10 years and can act as your innovation radar. They will introduce 20:20 vision: the top 40 edtech companies for workforce development.

Join us for a LIVE 1-hour interactive discussion as we profile the 10 established players who are now setting the gold standard, will identify the top 20 rising stars who are fast making a difference, and, importantly, will also highlight 10 "ones to watch" - new companies you might not have heard of yet who are poised to shake things up. By attending, you will gain insights into opportunities for L&D to drive business impact, including skills development & assessment, collaborative & applied learning, leadership & coaching, talent mobility & career navigation, AI and more. This list was compiled from multiple data sources and voted on by our workforce development advisory board of global HR leaders.

In addition, you will get a special preview of the latest research by Emerge and Coursera on Frontline workers- 2.7 billion frontline workers: a vision of inclusive development before its launch. Donald will introduce the research alongside Tariq Chauhan, the CEO of EFS who has 30,000 frontline workers. 80% of workers worldwide do not sit at a desk and cannot access meaningful learning or skilling opportunities designed for office workers. Addressing these urgent unmet needs of the deskless workforce is the biggest challenge and opportunity in decades. The full research report will be made available to every attendee.
