Global Demand for Business Education Grows Amid Economic and Geopolitical Uncertainty

GMAC’s latest Application Trends Survey shows student mobility is shifting away from English-
speaking countries while schools accelerate AI, sustainability integration.

RESTON, Va., Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Graduate management education (GME) programs worldwide saw a 7 percent rise in applications in 2025, building on last year’s record-breaking growth, according to the latest annual Application Trends Survey of global business education trends released today by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a nonprofit association of leading business schools worldwide.

This year’s gains, though significant, were not evenly distributed, with clear shifts emerging across program types, delivery formats, and geographies. Notably, major GME hubs such as Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom experienced application contractions as their tighter visa policies and labor market uncertainty discouraged international applicants. While U.S. programs recorded a slight one-point decrease, in Canada and the U.K., the drop was pronounced, with 84 percent of Canadian programs and two-thirds of U.K. programs reporting fewer applications. By contrast, applications to programs in Asia and Europe (outside of the U.K.) surged ahead, attracting applicants redirected from other regions. International application growth was particularly strong in India (up 26%) and East and Southeast Asia (up 42%), highlighting the success of their business schools in marketing strategies and reputational gains.

“The next era of business education is being reshaped by changing student and employer expectations, challenging geopolitics, and new skill demand prompted by technologies like AI,” says Joy Jones, CEO at GMAC. “While some regions and program offerings might face serious headwinds, this year’s application growth gives strong evidence that business schools are quickly adapting to these dynamics through innovative curricula and industry-aligned experiences, positioning themselves for long-term relevance.”

Other Key Findings to Note Include:

  • Shifting program demand: Growth in applications to GME programs was concentrated in full-time, in-person formats—especially full-time, two-year MBA and business master’s programs in accounting, finance, and marketing. On the flip side, Master of Business Analytics programs experienced another year of weakened demand, with nearly two-thirds of these programs reporting application declines for the second year in a row.
  • RTO impacting application trends: More than half of executive, online, and part-time MBA programs reported application declines, marking a sharp contrast to the growth seen in full-time, in-person MBA programs. The downturn among flexible formats reverses earlier gains and may be linked to shifting candidate preferences in the wake of widespread return-to-office (RTO) mandates.
  • Business schools embracing AI: AI in the classroom is now mainstream, with only 16 percent of programs reporting no AI integration in 2025, down from 22 percent last year. More than half of schools now teach AI as a tool for decision-making, business strategy, and societal impact, often through hands-on experiences.
  • Sustainability becoming a differentiator: Three in four programs now offer opportunities to study sustainability—most commonly through MBA curricula. Candidate demand is clear—63 percent of prospective students responding to GMAC’s 2025 survey say sustainability is important to their studies. Regionally, Asian programs outside of Greater China and India are the most likely to require studying the subject and those in the United States the least likely.
  • Business master’s applications near parity: Globally, women continue to make up just over 40% of GME applicants, a level that has held for more than a decade. In 2025, although the median share of women applicants rose only one point, women applied to MBA programs at a faster rate than men and their representation among business master’s applicants held steady just below parity.

About the Application Trends Survey

The largest and most widely cited survey of its kind in the industry, GMAC’s Application Trends Survey is the definitive resource for business school admissions and program leaders to gain insight into the rapidly shifting demand for GME programs. Offering a global sample of programs of all types and formats, the survey’s findings provide a comprehensive view of candidate application sending behavior trends, as well as school admissions and recruitment activities.

This year’s survey was conducted between June and August, with 1,172 programs at 326 business schools located in 41 countries providing responses about the 2025-2026 academic year. To learn more about all the top findings from GMAC’s 2025 Application Trends Survey, please visit gmac.com.

Inveniam and MANTRA Unveil Inveniam Chain: A Layer 2 Blockchain for the Management and Utilization of Private Real Estate Assets

ABU DHABI, UAE and DUBAI, UAE and NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Inveniam Capital Partners (“Inveniam”), a global leader in decentralized data infrastructure for private market assets, and MANTRA, a Layer 1 blockchain specializing in real world asset (RWA) tokenization, today unveiled Inveniam Chain, a purpose-built Layer 2 blockchain aimed at advancing the management and utilization of private real estate assets in an agentic future, beginning with commercial real estate (CRE) data.

Built as the first Layer 2 on MANTRA Chain’s RWA L1, Inveniam Chain’s first phase will power CRE derivatives globally, thereby unlocking trading strategies and liquidity for $27 trillion in private CRE holdings. Inveniam Chain will be fully connected to agentic asset surveillance through Inveniam IO’s Proof of Origin, Proof of State, and Proof of Process, where data sits at the edge and is monitored in real-time. Currently, Inveniam is doing this at scale with tens of billions of dollars of private market assets.

Underpinned by Inveniam’s decentralized data management platform, Inveniam IO, Inveniam Chain will structure, hash, and credential trillions of proprietary data points feeding private market indices, DeFi ecosystems, AI agents, and data sharing marketplaces with efficient throughput. Inveniam Chain will bring a newfound fully sovereign data solution set to address current challenges in the siloed commercial real estate industry, one of the most low-frequency data-rich asset classes globally. 

Inveniam Chain is also designed to scale across other private market asset classes, subsequently enabling the creation of innovative investment products, enhanced collateral mobility, and alternative financing solutions for real world assets. By recording key performance metrics and asset-level data in real-time, Inveniam Chain will be positioned to support future digital derivatives products, exchanges, and platforms, ultimately transforming how private assets across industries are utilized in the digital economy.

“Inveniam Chain will be fully connected to AI agents and DeFi ecosystems, acting as the metachain for every digital instrument, whether the asset sits natively on MANTRA (OM), or is traded digitally on Ripple (XRP), Avalanche (AVAX), Hedera (HBAR), ZK Sync (ZK), or Ethereum (ETH). This is where agents which are surveilling physical assets real-time, can prove to other agents and end users, the zero Knowledge Proof of State, Origin, and Process of the data. Inveniam Chain is a transformative step toward bridging traditional finance, providing price discovery and asset performance real time to the digital economy, starting with commercial real estate and expanding to other asset classes,” Patrick O’Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam said.

John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Founder of MANTRA added, “By combining MANTRA’s RWA-focused Layer 1 infrastructure with Inveniam’s deep expertise in private market data, Inveniam Chain has the potential to redefine how assets are tokenized, traded, and valued. Its initial use case for regulated commercial real estate derivatives is just the beginning; we’re eager to see the innovative use cases this technology will unlock liquidity across global markets.”

To ensure enterprise-grade protection and operational integrity, Inveniam will operate under MANTRA’s Interchain Security (ICS), inheriting MANTRA Chain’s validator set. By extending this security model through ICS, the network achieves trust, resilience, and scalability without sacrificing decentralization, offering regulated markets like ADGM an established infrastructure to create and scale a global CRE derivatives exchange.

Inveniam Chain is now live in testnet.

About Inveniam
Inveniam is a data operations management and orchestration solution for private market assets, bringing access, transparency, and trust to asset performance data. The company is building the foundation for scalable AI integration, decentralized data marketplaces, and the systematic trading of real-world assets.

Xuan Wu Cloud to Bring in Strategic Investor, Focusing on Core Business

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On October 20, Xuan Wu Cloud announced that its shareholders, Zhenghao Global, Honghan Global, and Baoya, have entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Shenzhen Hantang Mingyuan Investment Development Partnership (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter “Hantang Mingyuan”). According to the agreement, Hantang Mingyuan intends to acquire 20% of Xuan Wu Cloud’s total issued share capital for HK$65.1989 million. Upon completion of the transaction, Hantang Mingyuan and its actual controller, Lian Jian, will become the single largest shareholder group of Xuan Wu Cloud.

According to the announcement, Hantang Mingyuan is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is principally engaged in investment holding. Mr. Lian Jian is the ultimate controller of the Purchaser (i.e., Hantang Mingyuan). In 2003, Mr. Lian Jian founded Shenzhen Depute Optoelectronic Display Technology Co., Ltd. and served as the chairman. From 2014 to 2018, Mr. Lian Jian held the positions of director and vice chairman at Wuhu Token Sciences Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 300088.SZ), where he contributed to the company becoming a key partner for leading manufacturers of new energy vehicles and leading smartphone manufacturers, among others. Mr. Lian Jian possesses extensive practical experience in industrial investment. Since 2018, he has specialised in research and investment in sectors such as technology and new energy, focusing on industrial and investment opportunities arising from Chinese brands’ global expansion and under the national strategy of the Belt and Road Initiative. In 2022, he established Shenzhen Hantang Mingyuan Investment Development Partnership (Limited Partnership), which has invested in multiple companies spanning technology and new energy industries.

Regarding the purpose of this investment, Xuan Wu Cloud stated in the announcement that for a long time, Mr. Lian Jian has consistently focused on companies that align with the direction of economic structure optimisation and upgrading, possess promising prospects, and demonstrate market potential and technological advantages. He highly recognises the Group’s industrial leadership position in the niche segment of ”AI+ enterprise digital services,” and holds particularly high expectations for the Group’s SaaS applications in AI+ cloud communication services, as well as its strategic development in international business. Moving forward, Mr. Lian Jian will leverage capital as a conduit to integrate resources from the Group and the related industrial chain, continuously consolidating and amplifying the Group’s competitive advantages to realise the higher-quality development of the Group. As of the date of this announcement, the ultimate controller of the Purchaser, Mr. Lian, holds 1.63% of the total issued shares.

While introducing a strategic investor, Xuan Wu Cloud has also made adjustments to its business operations. Another announcement released by the company on the same day indicates that the Chairman of the Board, Chen Yonghui, will inject RMB 20 million into Guangzhou Xuantong Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xuantong”), a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, as new registered capital. Concurrently, Xuantong’s major shareholder, Guangzhou Xuantao Smart Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xuantao”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xuan Wu Cloud), has agreed to sell 16.67% and 20% of Xuantong’s total registered capital to independent third parties, Xuantong Tongda and Xuantong Tonghe, for RMB 5 million and RMB 6 million, respectively.

Upon completion of these transactions, Xuantong’s registered capital will increase to RMB 50 million. Chen Yonghui will hold a 40% equity stake in Xuantong, Xuantao’s shareholding in Xuantong will be reduced to 20%, while Xuantong Tonghe and Xuantong Tongda will hold 12% and 10% respectively, with other shareholders collectively holding the remaining 18%. In accordance with relevant listing rules, Xuantong’s financial results will no longer be consolidated into Xuan Wu Cloud’s consolidated financial statements.

In the announcement, Xuan Wu Cloud explained that Chen Yonghui’s acquisition of an equity stake in Xuantong is primarily based on strategic, operational, and financial considerations. Since its establishment in January 2024, Xuantong has been operating at a loss, which has adversely affected Xuan Wu Cloud’s overall financial performance. Through this transaction, Xuan Wu Cloud plans to reallocate the listed company’s resources to enhance capital efficiency. Additionally, from the disposal of its equity in Xuantong, Xuan Wu Cloud expects to recognize an unaudited gain of approximately RMB 6 million, which is in line with the company’s objectives for transformation, upgrading, and sustainable development.

Gorilla Technology Increases Share Repurchase Buyback Programme to $20 Million

Board of Directors’ Capital Allocation Strategy Seeks to Reinforce Confidence in Gorilla’s Intrinsic Value

London, United Kingdom – Newsfile Corp. – October 21, 2025 – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the authorised capacity under its previously announced share repurchase programme to $20 million, reinforcing the Company’s belief that its current market valuation does not reflect its true strength, growth trajectory, and financial performance.

“Gorilla’s management and Board are implementing a capital allocation strategy that seeks to return value to shareholders consistently and optimally,” said Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology. “We believe the Company’s current trading levels do not reflect the intrinsic value of Gorilla, which includes several recent operational milestones. In the past few months, Gorilla has executed a $1.4 billion AI data centre contract, launched a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) Quantum-Safe Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Initiative, and announced business wins in the Asia-Pacific region. This is all in addition to the world class partnerships we’ve announced earlier this year. Our team will continue executing on our growth strategy as we identify and implement the most effective methods to deliver strong returns for our shareholders.”

The Company currently has approximately $107 million in free cash and $120 million of restricted cash. This cash balance reflects considerable recent spending on obligations under existing contracts, research and development, and increases in headcount. Between cash on hand and scheduled customer payments on active projects, Gorilla believes it has sufficient working capital for its near-term project commitments and continues to work on securing additional capital sources for future project requirements that will be non-dilutive to its shareholders. While currently in a blackout period, the Company is prepared to utilise the full available capacity of the share buyback programme upon the release of third quarter financials and related business updates if its share price does not by that time reflect its intrinsic value and long-term potential.

In parallel to this increase to its share repurchase programme, the Company also will be submitting new trading data and related evidence regarding unusual trading patterns observed in its stock, including what it believes to be aggressive shorting and possible naked short activity to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), upon the reopening of the U.S. government. Gorilla intends to continue engaging through all appropriate regulatory channels to ensure transparency and fairness for its investors.

Upcoming Earnings Release

The Company expects to release its third-quarter 2025 financial results in mid-November 2025. Further details, including the exact date and dial-in information for the earnings call, will be announced in due course.

About Gorilla Technology Group Inc.

Headquartered in London U.K., Gorilla is a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology.
