Global Higher Ed QS is a leading global provider of higher education and careers information with a large network of over 2,000 universities and 12,000 employers across 50 countries, signaling strong cross-institution and employer collaboration opportunities for market research, data products, and targeted analytics services.

Expansion Opportunities Recent activity includes Sub-Saharan Africa rankings and multiple partnerships with universities and education authorities, indicating momentum in emerging markets and potential sales in regional data solutions, country-specific rankings, and localized insights offerings.

Data and Tech A diverse tech stack ( BigQuery, Power BI, ServiceNow, Atlassian, SEMrush, iCIMS, Canva ) suggests appetite for integration-ready analytics, workflow automation, and content/marketing tools; opportunities exist to offer data platforms, dashboards, and CRM/ERP integrations.

Sustainability and Mobility Partnerships and research initiatives around student health, wellbeing, and international mobility (e.g., Allianz Partners collaboration and education fairs) point to demand for wellbeing analytics, global mobility trends, and program-level impact reporting services.

Global Events Active event participation and hosting (Back to School Summit, Global Skills Week, Study Abroad Fair) create openings for sponsorships, co-branded research, and event-specific lead generation programs that leverage QS’s brand authority and network.
