Echo360 2025 e³ Tech Grants Program

Over $100,000 in financial and technology grants awarded globally to support educators and innovation

NEW YORK, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Echo360, the global leader in transformative learning and AI-powered education technology, today announced the recipients of its 2025 e³ Tech Grants Program, awarding more than $100,000 in combined financial and technology support to educators and researchers worldwide. Now in its fifth year, the e³ Tech Grants Program reinforces Echo360's ongoing commitment to advancing transformative teaching and learning through targeted investment and hands-on resources.

"As educational institutions face mounting financial stress, from flat or declining funding to enrollment volatility, every dollar counts," said Murad Velani, President and CEO of Echo360. "Our 2025 grant awards demonstrate how Echo360 stands shoulder to shoulder with educators, equipping them not only with needed funding, but with technologies and training that amplifies instructional innovation around the world."

Echo360 Grantmaking: Legacy of Support
Since 2021, Echo360 e³ Tech Grants have advanced edtech learning equity, engagement, and evidence through two types of awards:

1. Impact Grants: Financial support for empirical pedagogical research and proof–of–concept projects
2. Innovation Grants: Technology access grants, offering the EchoSystem AI enriched platform, including GoReact, the market leading AI Video Assessment tool.

This reflects a long-standing commitment by Echo360 to fund innovation and supply tools that scale across classrooms, labs, and corporate training environments globally.

Higher Ed Under Pressure
Colleges and universities around the world continue to grapple with daunting financial headwinds. A 2025 Fitch Ratings report warns many U.S. institutions face "deteriorating" finances due to enrollment declines and rising costs. In the U.K., the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) notes one in three schools operates at a deficit. Meanwhile, Australia's Universities Accord highlights financial sustainability as a sector-wide concern.

"The Echo360 grant is enabling us to create high-quality, multi-angle videos that we anticipate will transform how physiotherapy students engage with complex manual techniques," said Julie Bayliss, Lecturer in the Curtin School of Allied Health and 2025 grant recipient. "We believe that this technology will give students the flexibility to learn at their own pace while ensuring equitable access to expert demonstrations; something we couldn't have achieved without this support."
