Alongside our client-based work and media production services, we also self-instigate, develop and take forward a wide array of stand-alone projects and enterprises in our key areas of interest, such as science communication, educational technology and sustainability. These projects are sometimes spun-out as seperate business enterprises or joint ventures, and often call upon expertise from a number of diverse disciplines. We call this area of our business GovEd Ventures.
Examples of these ventures include the following:
GovEd Technologies
