Edexus is a web-based platform connecting suppliers, distributors & service providers working in the worldwide educational materials industry. We aim to improve communication by: • Helping suppliers find new distributors for their products. • Helping distributors find new and alternative suppliers. • Helping bring new products quickly to market. • Providing a place to discuss industry-wide issues and opportunities. Company aim To better connect and service the educational supply business on a global basis providing a focal point for this highly diverse and fragmented industry sector. Through the Edexus Foundation we help bring access to improved health and education facilities to disadvantaged children by supporting charities effectively delivering aid to those in need. Background Edexus was founded by Ernest Smart who has spent more than 30 years working in the global education market building a deep understanding of this diverse and constantly developing business sector with its varied product requirements, distribution channels and purchasing procedures. Education is one of the "big 3" expenditures of all governments, along with health and defence, yet the supply side of the business seriously lacks a "trade press" or "trade exhibitions" outside the USA. Edexus has been set up to fill this gap using the internet as a means of providing constantly growing source of information to producers and distributors of education equipment and supplies in every part of the world.
