Deal update: A new chapter for BIG school Pleased to share that i5invest advised BIG school on its acquisition by ABE Capital Partners. Based in Barcelona, BIG school is a digital education platform offering practical, expert-led training in high-demand fields including Artificial Intelligence, Digital Marketing, Cybersecurity, Software Development, Data Science and SEO, serving both professionals and companies. As AI and rapid technological change continue to reshape the skills businesses and professionals need, practical upskilling and reskilling programs built around relevant, up-to-date content are becoming increasingly important. The acquisition brings together BIG school’s differentiated training offering and established brand with ABE Capital Partners’ long-term, hands-on investment approach and focus on supporting high-growth SMEs, creating a strong platform for the company’s next phase of development. It has been a pleasure to work with Romuald Fons and the entire BIG school team that contributed to getting the company to this important milestone. We wish you all the best in this new chapter. Big congrats! Congratulations also to ABE Capital Partners and its advisory teams! And hats off to the i5invest deal team: Luis Aguado, Remco Does, Pablo Bertomeu Pardo and Susanna Brondoni #MergersAndAcquisitions #PrivateEquity #EdTech #DigitalEducation #ArtificialIntelligence #BIGschool
