Baltic Education Technology Institute

What Baltic Education Technology Institute does

Baltic Education Technology Institute (BETi, legal name VšĮ Baltijos edukacinių technologijų institutas) is a Lithuanian non-profit organization founded in 2003 and headquartered at Kulautuvos g. 47B in Kaunas. It develops digital education solutions, training programs, and ICT-related projects, implementing the lifelong learning paradigm by applying research in educational technologies to real-world training scenarios. The institute operates with 11-50 employees and runs a portfolio of 69 completed and ongoing projects supported by 52 international partner organizations across Europe.

BETi's core products and underlying technology span e-learning delivery on Moodle-based platforms, interactive Virtual Field Trip (iVFT) laboratories for environmental learning, serious games for education, augmented reality learning tools (smARt), and a digital mentoring platform with MOOC courses called Digit2Me targeting vulnerable youth in rural areas. The institute also maintains proprietary content assets including 25 scientific publications, 166+ articles, and an annual international conference (ALTA) on Advanced Learning Technologies and Applications that serves as a research dissemination and partner-recruitment platform.

BETi's business model is grant-funded rather than commercial. The primary revenue stream is European Union programme funding, including Erasmus+ (KA2, KA220, KA204, KA226), CERV, EuropeAid, Norway Grants, European Social Fund, Leonardo da Vinci, and Nordplus. Projects are typically structured as 2-5 year transnational partnerships with multiple European institutions, co-funded by the EU budget, and delivered to end-user segments including adult learners, educators, public sector institutions (municipalities, prison services), rural and agricultural communities, and vulnerable groups (women, persons with disabilities, migrants, refugees). Go-to-market is event- and consortium-driven: new business is generated by responding to EU calls for proposals, attending international conferences, and leveraging existing partner referrals. No commercial pricing is published, and services are offered within project frameworks rather than sold as standalone products.

Direct peers

• CEIPES: Italian non-profit coordinating Erasmus+ and CERV projects across Europe (coordinator of UPSKILLING COACHES with BETi as partner). Same non-profit, consortium-led model in adult education, digital inclusion, and youth training.
• European Centre for Women and Technology (ECWT): Norwegian centre of expertise on gender and digital inclusion, partner in WOMEN4IT alongside BETi. Comparable non-profit model driving policy-driven digital inclusion projects under EEA/Norway Grants.
• CARDET: Cyprus-based R&D center active in EU-funded educational technology projects (partner with BETi on SAPPHIRE). Operates a near-identical model: consortium coordination, EdTech content production, EU grant capture, and applied research in digital pedagogy.
• HeurekaNet: German non-profit research and innovation institute active in EU-funded education, digital skills, and training projects (Digit2Me partner). Mirrors BETi's "ICT science and practice" positioning with similar non-profit, consortium-led delivery.
• Antares (Company for Organizational Systems Development): Bulgarian lead partner of the TRAVEL Erasmus+ project alongside BETi. Specialises in organisational learning and ICT-enabled training for SMEs, sharing BETi's EdTech/R&D grant-funded business model across the Balkans.
• Virtual Campus Lda: Portuguese e-learning platform provider and EU-project partner (SAPPHIRE with BETi). Builds Moodle-based learning environments and STEM assessment tools similar to BETi's Digit2Me MOOC and STEAM outputs.
• STOWARZYSZENIE ARID: Polish non-profit active in EU-funded education and digital literacy projects (partner in TRAVEL and DELTA at Work with BETi). Comparable size and mission in adult learning, digital pedagogy, and consortium-based project execution.
• CESIE: Italian NGO and frequent Erasmus+/CERV consortium lead focused on education, training, and social innovation. Directly comparable EU-project portfolio, including media literacy (Think Twice with BETi) and inclusion initiatives.

Broad incumbents

• EU-DIGITAL / ECWT consortium: Larger pan-EU umbrella organisations (e.g., DigitalEurope, ECWT network) act as broader incumbents shaping EU digital-skills policy and channelling funding; they compete with BETi for influence and visibility on the same adult digital-literacy agenda.

Regional players

• LIKTA: Latvian ICT industry association, partner in WOMEN4IT alongside BETi. Regional Baltic counterpart advancing digital skills policy and training; comparable role in the Baltic digital-inclusion ecosystem but anchored in Latvia rather than Lithuania.
