Why did we invest in Globeducate?

We are delighted to support Globeducate as it further accelerates its growth and expansion through continued investment in academics, innovation, and facilities, as well as through the development of new schools and selective acquisitions of leading schools, as we believe the Group still has significant room to grow.

Over the past years, ̽Ʒteams have developed extensive knowledge of the education sector in Europe and North America and made investments in the related professional training segment. Globeducate operates a unique portfolio of leading schools and we have been impressed by the quality of the Group’s academic offering, delivered by the best teachers, in facilities that the Group is constantly improving.

This investment will enable us to accelerate the diversification of our principal investment portfolio, as per our strategy. Importantly, Globeducate aligns closely with Wendel’s strategy and values.
