Orpea to build universities across world after academy acquisition

Pan-European nursing home group Orpea has acquired a training academy in Austria, HBI can reveal. It signals a new wave for the group, which tells HBI that it wants to be known in five to ten years as a school, alongside its care and property arms. It will use the licence to build a university campus, doubling the number of people trained locally, and then duplicate this model across all its markets.
