Education has always been one of the most resilient industries in the world. Even during times of uncertainty, students continue to seek quality education, and families continue to invest in their children’s future. Over the past decade, VBNN Smart Education Group – Vision Beyond Next has demonstrated how forward-thinking strategies in education can not only transform student experiences but also generate sustainable growth and international recognition.
With a strong portfolio of institutions across Switzerland, the European Union, Central Asia, and the Middle East, VBNN has built a model that combines Swiss academic excellence, innovative delivery formats, and global accessibility. This success is not just theoretical; it has been validated by the highest honor that any educational institution can receive — recognition from students themselves.
In the past ten years, VBNN institutions have won the “Student Satisfaction Award” three times, evaluated by independent state universities and confirmed through international ceremonies. This achievement is more than a celebration; it is a solid indicator of trust, stability, and long-term potential.
For investors, this is an exceptional signal: an education group with proven credibility, consistent growth, and unmatched student loyalty.
The Three Major Awards: A Testament to Excellence
First Recognition: MENAA Awards in Dubai
The first international recognition came in Dubai, when VBNN Smart Education Group was presented with the Customer Satisfaction Award under the prestigious MENAA Awards. The evaluation was conducted by ZHAW, a Swiss state university, in cooperation with ILM UK.
Receiving this award in Dubai, a global hub for trade and investment, was more than symbolic. It signaled to the world that VBNN had achieved the delicate balance between Swiss precision, British quality frameworks, and Middle Eastern dynamism.
For investors, this early award was the first proof that the group’s model could scale across borders and meet international quality benchmarks.
Second Recognition: Kyiv, Ukraine
Several years later, the second milestone arrived in Kyiv, Ukraine, where VBNN was awarded the Student Satisfaction Award following evaluation by Taurida National University (TNU, a European state university).
This recognition carried a deeper meaning. Eastern Europe is a region where education is highly valued, and competition among institutions is fierce. To be recognized there, in a country known for its academic traditions, positioned VBNN as a group capable of winning the trust of students far beyond its Swiss home.
For investors, this was the second layer of validation: that VBNN’s approach is not limited by geography but can thrive in very different cultural and economic environments.
Third Recognition: Istanbul, Turkey
The third and perhaps most remarkable recognition came in Istanbul, Turkey, where VBNN was named the Best Modern Provider with Happy Customers.
What made this award extraordinary was not only that it was presented by the former Minister of Trade of Turkey, but also that it was the result of a massive public vote involving more than 430,000 participants, organized by the respected Ekovitrin Haber newspaper.
This was not a decision taken by a jury in a closed room. This was a democratic recognition by nearly half a million people — students, parents, and education stakeholders who publicly expressed their trust.
For investors, this is the strongest possible market signal: if hundreds of thousands of independent voices confirm that VBNN is a trusted educational provider, then the foundation for growth is solid, transparent, and highly scalable.
Why These Awards Matter for Investors
In the education sector, traditional accreditations and licenses are important, but they are regulatory by nature. They show compliance with government standards but do not necessarily prove market success. Student Satisfaction Awards, however, represent the voice of the market itself.
They demonstrate:
Trust: Students believe in the quality of education.
Loyalty: Graduates recommend the institution to others.
Reputation: The group is associated with excellence across different regions.
Scalability: Success is not tied to one country but replicated across multiple markets.
For investors, these are the core ingredients of sustainable growth. When education providers gain student trust, the financial results naturally follow: higher enrollment, better retention, and strong word-of-mouth marketing that reduces advertising costs.
