Quartier (+A Educação) Acquires Majority Stake in Grupo NODS and Enters Latin America and U.S. EdTech Markets

Quartier acquires NODS with a definitive agreement to purchase 51% of Grupo NODS, a Latin American EdTech and digital-growth platform, marking its first major international expansion into Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and the United States (Delaware). The transaction positions Quartier (+A Educação) — historically rooted in academic publishing, digital learning and professional education — as a regional player with operating infrastructure across the Spanish-speaking Americas. Grupo NODS specializes in digital transformation for higher-education institutions, offering technology, enrollment-growth intelligence, analytics, cloud services and virtual-campus capabilities across more than 12 countries.

Founders & Leadership Background

Quartier Participações (+A Educação) traces its origins to Henrique Leão Kiperman, who founded the group’s predecessor publishing business in 1973, building one of Brazil’s leading academic-content and digital-learning platforms. Grupo NODS was co-founded by Nicolás Leoni, who has led its expansion across Latin America and into the United States, positioning the company as a technology-driven partner for universities focused on digital transformation and scalable online delivery. This milestone confirms a new chapter as Quartier acquires NODS and builds a regional digital-education platform.

Next steps following the Quartier NODS deal

The acquisition includes Grupo NODS’ operating subsidiaries and commercial structures in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, supported by a U.S. entity in Delaware. NODS manages institutional relationships, digital-learning delivery, enrollment-growth programs and technology deployment for universities. This structure gives Quartier (+A Educação) execution capacity across core Latin American markets, accelerating multilingual content distribution, digital-transformation initiatives and international expansion.

Why This Deal Matters Following Brazil EdTech acquisition

The deal reflects a shift: Brazilian education groups moving from domestic consolidation toward cross-border digital scale. For Quartier (+A Educação), the transaction accelerates international growth and technology-driven services. For NODS, joining a Brazilian education group brings scale capital and content depth, enabling accelerated expansion across the Americas.
