Education
Sector performance
In 2024, the education M&A landscape was defined by growing
interest in EdTech and AI-driven tools and increasing private
equity and venture capital investment. Education businesses
focused on digital transformation by investing in technologies
to support skills development and specialized solutions.
Consolidation within EdTech accelerated as companies sought
scalability and more sustainable business models. Despite
challenges arising from a complex regulatory environment and
valuation concerns affecting early-stage companies, investor
interest remained strong in companies with innovative solutions
to enhance learning outcomes and workforce development.
