EpicQuest Wins Global Branding Award at CES 2026: What It Means for Higher Education
EpicQuest Education Group International Limited received the Global Branding Award at the CES 2026 SPEED AWARD, recognizing the company's growing international footprint and its use of AI in higher education. For education leaders, the win signals a practical model for building technology-enabled ecosystems that support students, faculty, and institutions across borders.
EpicQuest's approach blends academic partnerships with AI-enabled digital infrastructure. The goal is straightforward: expand access to quality programs, improve learning experiences, and strengthen institutional effectiveness-before, during, and beyond the classroom.
Why this matters for educators and administrators
- Operational clarity: Integrated platforms for academic administration, LMS, student services, and analytics reduce manual work and improve coordination across teams.
- Student continuity: Consistent digital touchpoints help learners move between campuses and programs with fewer gaps in support.
- Data-informed decisions: Analytics surface patterns in enrollment, retention, and outcomes-useful for resource planning and program improvement.
- Faculty time back: Automations and streamlined workflows let instructors focus more on teaching and mentorship.
What EpicQuest's AI-enabled ecosystem does
- Academic administration: Scheduling, enrollment, compliance, and reporting in one environment.
- Learning management: Course delivery, assessment, and feedback loops with consistent standards across regions.
- Student services: Guidance, alerts, and resource access that support students through each stage of their studies.
- Decision support: Dashboards and insight tools that help leaders act on real-time and longitudinal data.
Built for diverse education systems
EpicQuest emphasizes localization. Instead of a single template, solutions align with regional standards, regulatory requirements, and student needs.
- Partnership model: Collaborations with universities and colleges in North America and other regions to support degree programs, pathway education, and academic exchange.
- Quality with flexibility: Consistent operational baselines paired with room for institutional nuance and policy differences.
Practical steps if you're evaluating similar solutions
- Map current processes: Identify bottlenecks in admissions, advising, curriculum delivery, and reporting. Target high-friction workflows first.
- Pilot with guardrails: Start small with cross-functional oversight (IT, academic affairs, faculty, and student services) and define clear success metrics.
- Prioritize privacy and governance: Establish data ownership, security protocols, and audit practices before scaling.
- Invest in adoption: Provide training, faculty support, and change management resources so tools stick.
Industry context
This recognition points to a broader shift: institutions are stitching together learning, services, and operations under a unified digital layer. The institutions that benefit most will be those that keep the tech invisible to students and faculty-useful, reliable, and accountable.
