About the Taxonomy

The HolonIQ Education Market Taxonomy is an open-source framework for education innovation, providing a common structure and language for identifying, tracking and making sense of the volume and complexity of innovation occurring globally. The taxonomy provides a well defined, robust, accessible segmentation of the market.

Taxonomy Structure

The taxonomy is structured as a three-tiered hierarchical framework. The uppermost tier consists of the four adjacent Sector categories of Early Childhood Education, K-12 Education, Post-Secondary Education, and Workforce Training & Development. The 20 Sub-Sectors across these categories capture the core functions of the market such as delivery, content and services.
