Thesis is proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for the Higher Education Innovation Award as part of the 2026 EdTech Innovation Hub (ETIH) Innovation Awards. The ETIH Awards received more than 140 global entries in their inaugural year, representing EdTech companies, universities, and institutions driving impact across teaching, learning, and digital transformation.
The awards highlight platforms and solutions that deliver practical innovation, measurable improvements for educators and learners, and real-world use cases already making a difference in institutions worldwide. Categories span the full education landscape, including student engagement, AI, operations, inclusion, and higher education transformation.
The Higher Education Innovation Award specifically celebrates the most transformative application of education technology in colleges and universities – tools that elevate the student experience, strengthen academic and administrative processes, and help institutions operate with clarity and efficiency.
Being named to this shortlist places Thesis Elements in a group of organizations recognized for shaping how technology supports modern higher education.
This recognition underscores our mission of empowering small and midsize colleges with modern student information tools that simplify complexity and support institutional success. Our focus on delivering measurable value – improving workflows, enhancing transparency, and supporting student outcomes – continues to guide every decision we make.
We are grateful to the dedicated product, engineering, and customer teams whose work ensures we continue delivering meaningful innovation to the institutions we serve. We’re also honored to see our efforts recognized by an independent judging panel with deep expertise across EdTech, teaching, and institutional leadership.
Winners will be announced by ETIH on May 11, 2026. We look forward to celebrating with the broader EdTech community and continuing our work to help institutions thrive in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
