About the TaxonomyThe 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. Licensed under Creative Commons, the taxonomy is available for anyone to support their own work in education innovation, to identify an area of focus, or to locate their organization and their peers on the landscape.
Taxonomy StructureThe taxonomy is structured as a three-tiered hierarchical framework. The uppermost tier consists of the four accepted 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. Each Sub-Sector is further segmented into ‘Market Clusters’ which identify the specific functions, technologies, activities within the sub-sector.
Data & DefinitionsData on the HolonIQ Market Intelligence Platform is segmented using this Market Taxonomy, including all organizations, market activities, and capital flows, enabling ease of sizing and comparison across categories or over time. By segmenting the education market using this robust framework, HolonIQ is able to support customers’ needs in areas such as market analysis, competitive intelligence, product development, and sales strategies.
