In an exclusive interview, Global Market Bulletin had the privilege of speaking with Zhenyu Wu, CFO, and Craig Wilson, Director of EpicQuest Education Group (NASDAQ: EEIQ), to uncover the groundbreaking strides their company is making in the global higher education landscape. EpicQuest Education is committed to bridging the gap for international students who might not typically consider higher education, offering innovative programs and strategic initiatives that are reshaping the future of learning.
A Vision for Inclusive Higher Education
Zhenyu Wu and Craig Wilson shared insights into EpicQuest’s mission to connect with international students from diverse backgrounds.

Their programs are designed to empower students, offering them opportunities they might not have otherwise considered.
Strategic Initiatives and Global Collaborations
One of the key topics discussed was EpicQuest’s recent strategic initiatives. The launch of the ‘Canada’s Top 3 Elite Training Program’ by EduGlobal College and a pivotal Memorandum of Understanding with Hetu Education Technology Co., Ltd. in China are prime examples of how EpicQuest is enhancing its educational impact. These collaborations are expected to not only improve educational outcomes but also boost revenue streams for the company.
Expanding Recruitment Strategies
EpicQuest’s commitment to global education is further demonstrated by its expanded recruitment strategies. The establishment of a recruiting office in Sri Lanka aims to attract students from Southeast Asia and the Middle East, regions with significant potential for growth. Wu and Wilson discussed how these efforts are expected to increase enrollment and drive financial growth, aligning with the company’s long-term strategic plans.
New STEM Programs and Higher Learning Commission Approval
Another exciting development for EpicQuest is the approval from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) for Davis University to offer new STEM degree programs in Data Science and Computer Engineering. These programs are anticipated to attract a new wave of students, thereby enhancing both recruitment and financial performance. Wu and Wilson expressed their optimism about the positive impact these programs will have on the university’s growth trajectory.
Enrollment Metrics and Strategic Growth
The discussion also touched on EpicQuest Education’s latest enrollment metrics, which reflect the success of their strategic internationalization efforts. The executives shared how these metrics align with their goal of achieving sustainable growth through a global approach to education. They also highlighted the importance of continuously adapting to the evolving needs of the education sector to maintain their competitive edge.
Future Goals and Innovations
Looking ahead, Wu and Wilson outlined EpicQuest Education’s long-term goals and future visions. Potential expansions into new sectors and the introduction of innovative educational programs are on the horizon, demonstrating the company’s commitment to staying at the forefront of the education industry.
