Kuepa, a Bogotá-based education-technology company, has been named one of the world’s 25 best EdTech firms in the annual ranking compiled by Time magazine and the research firm Statista. The recognition places Kuepa as the highest-ranked education-technology company from Latin America, a distinction it has now held for three years running.
The global ranking evaluates thousands of companies worldwide based on financial performance, sustainable growth, and measurable impact on education. Kuepa, which specializes in technical and higher-education programs aimed at boosting job prospects for young people, credits its success to three pillars: an AI-powered learning platform that offers real-time tutoring and personalized study paths; live classes taught by instructors whose curriculum adapts to shifting job-market demands; and direct ties to employers through paid apprenticeships, corporate sponsorships, and job placement built into the coursework itself.
Jorge García, Kuepa’s CEO and co-founder, said the company designed its programs so students connect with employers while still studying rather than after graduation, calling the Time recognition confirmation that education tied directly to employment is the right approach.
Through partnerships with private companies and paid internship models, Kuepa reports strong job-placement rates and rising incomes among its graduates, cementing Colombia’s growing reputation in education technology on the world stage.
