In this second keynote session video from EducationSummit2025, the focus turns to the accelerating momentum in global education deal activity over the past 12–14 months.

The session explores how resilient K-12 fundamentals, increasing consolidation and the rise of regional education platforms are sustaining strong investor interest worldwide. From established operators to emerging growth platforms, capital continues to flow across key markets — including the GCC, APAC and India.

Key themes covered include:

  • The rebound and resilience of global education M&A
  • Consolidation trends across K-12 and adjacent segments
  • Growth of regional platforms and cross-border investor interest
  • Long-term structural drivers underpinning education demand

With demographic tailwinds, premiumization of schooling and increasing institutional participation, the outlook for education investment remains firmly positive.

Watch the session for strategic insights into market dynamics, M&A opportunities and the long-term growth forces shaping the global education landscape.
