Asia Pacific University of Technology & innovation (APU or the Company) is a leading private higher education institute in Malaysia. APU offers foundation/diploma education, undergraduate, and postgraduate programs, with a focus in Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT) disciplines. The university serves around ~16,000 registered students on its main campus in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The proposed investment is a co-investment with Creador VI Fund, L.P. (Creador or the Fund), and will facilitate the change of ownership for APU and support the university's growth plans to expand student capacity, facilitating larger annual student enrolments and improving educational quality across disciplines.
IFC's Upstream Advisory teams will deliver a targeted engagement with APU, which will be aligned to Creador's value creation plan, structured around three key components: (i) internationalization & brand differentiation strategies to grow local and international enrolments; (ii) an Industry Linked Education (ILE) pilot to enable the calibration of APU's education offerings to meet changing market demands; and (iii) the Digital for Tertiary Education Program (D4TEP) to strengthen APU's technology and data infrastructure across its operations.
