As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year behind us and look ahead to what’s coming for the Qlik Academic Program across EMEA. 2025 was a strong and rewarding year marked by meaningful collaboration with educators, growing student engagement, and a shared commitment to bringing real-world data analytics into the classroom. Our goal for 2026 is simple: to build on that momentum and continue supporting academic institutions across the region in even more impactful ways.
At Qlik, we deeply understand the importance of practicing data analytics—not just learning it theoretically. Today’s students need hands-on experience with modern analytics tools, exposure to real datasets, and an understanding of how data supports decision-making in real organizations. This is exactly where the Qlik Academic Program aims to make a difference.
Through the program, educators and students gain free access to Qlik’s end-to-end analytics platform, including tools for data visualization and analytics. Beyond software access, we also provide a wide range of teaching and learning resources, such as ready-to-use datasets, academic licenses, training materials, on-demand learning paths, tutorials, sample apps, and use-case-driven exercises that can be easily embedded into existing curricula.
We also support students in developing industry-recognized Qlik qualifications, helping them demonstrate practical analytics skills that are highly valued in today’s job market. For educators, we offer ongoing enablement, guest lectures, workshops, and direct support to ensure Qlik is effectively integrated into modules across disciplines from business analytics and data science to supply chain, finance, and beyond.
As we move forward in 2026, our focus remains on collaboration, accessibility, and real-world relevance. We’re excited to continue working closely with our academic partners across EMEA and to support the next generation of data-driven professionals—starting strong, and staying strong, together.
