Mubadala expands bet on education and buys Universidade Vila Velha

oglobo2 September 2026 at 20:58

Clariens Educação, controlled by Mubadala Capital, the asset manager of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, announced on Wednesday the acquisition of Universidade Vila Velha (UVV), one of the most traditional higher education institutions in Espírito Santo. The university is recognized for its strong presence in medical education and the health sector.

With the acquisition, Clariens now has six higher education institutions with Medical courses in its portfolio, all acquired in the last four years. UVV is the first university in Espírito Santo to join the group.

The group currently controls the Zarns network, with colleges in Bahia, Goiás, and Minas Gerais, as well as Unesulbahia in Bahia and Centro Universitário IMEPAC in Minas Gerais. UVV, founded 50 years ago, has one of the most traditional Medical courses in the region.

The future cannot be built without the young

Portugal faces a labor contradiction where companies complain about a lack of workers while youth unemployment remains at 18.4% for the 16 to 24 age group, far above the national average of 5.6%. The article argues that young people are essential for the renewal of organizations and intergenerational knowledge transmission, but warns that attracting them is not enough — they need fair salaries, career progression prospects, and stability. With Eurostat projections indicating a 21% reduction in the working-age population by 2050, the country cannot afford to waste talent. The training of young people is presented as an investment, not a cost, with greater collaboration needed between professional associations, companies, and educational institutions to inform students about existing opportunities and retain the professionals Portugal needs.
