The Problem & Opportunity

The Problem & Opportunity

The global Higher Education industry is worth circa USD$2 trillion globally and over £25 billion for UK Universities. UNESCO forecasts that by 2025 the number of students going to University will double, exceeding 285 million.

There is worldwide evidence that students, parents and employers are increasingly discerning and seek more than a quality from a University education.

Gaining world-class credentials, value and future returns, along with building networks of influence are demanded and this is of critical importance in Business Education, where one in four students worldwide undertake their studies. Traditional and online innovations and models have proliferated locally and moved across borders, but they are not able to consistently scale, disrupt and deliver what really matters to students, parents, governments and employers globally.
