Why did we invest in Globeducate?

Over the past years, Wendel teams 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 a high‑quality academic offering, delivered by the best teachers, in facilities that the Group is constantly improving.

Wendel’s objective is to support Globeducate in its growth and expansion through 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.

Globeducate aligns closely with Wendel’s strategy and values and this investment enables us to accelerate the diversification of our principal investments portfolio, as per our strategy announced in 2023.
