CrisisGo Connect Selected As “Next-Gen School Solution of the Year” in 2025 EdTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Technology Products and Companies

Mountain View, CA, June 6, 2024 — CrisisGo, the industry leader in organizational safety and crisis communication solutions since 2013, today announced that CrisisGo Connect has been recognized as “Next-Gen School Solution of the Year” in the 7th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global  educational technology market.

CrisisGo Connect is a real-time, multi-agency, multi-district collaboration platform that fosters seamless communication and coordination between schools and first responders, including law enforcement, fire, EMS, and emergency management. CrisisGo Connect empowers agencies to integrate school districts into their network for a unified safety ecosystem, creating a centralized hub for safety communication, and ensuring rapid, coordinated responses.

The platform’s single communication hub allows first responders to swiftly toggle between incidents across multiple schools or districts, ensuring faster, more informed decision-making in real-time. Instant alerts and communication within internal school teams and between schools and first responders ensure everyone is on the same page when every second counts. Emergency communication flows both ways with schools having the ability to immediately alert first responders, and first responders able to communicate directly with school safety teams.

First responders can also stay connected with each other to coordinate response efforts with live access to critical information. With interactive mapping, integrated camera feeds, and role-based access controls, first responders have real-time situational awareness and can track incidents across multiple locations, receive live updates, and coordinate efficiently.

CrisisGo Connect is not just another alerting tool—it’s a game-changing 
safety collaboration platform that ensures instant, two-way communication 
between schools and first responders. Traditional school safety platforms 
operate in silos, leaving first responders and emergency management a step 
behind, which can lead to critical delays and miscommunication. By providing real-time alerts, live situational awareness, and multi-agency coordination, CrisisGo Connect transforms how emergencies are managed, leading to faster 
decisions, safer schools, and lives saved.

Steve Johansson, Managing Director of EdTech Breakthrough
