In June 2018, Summer Capital acquired Swiss Education Group Ltd. from Akina and Invision. The CEO is Leo 王, Yong Shen. Swiss Education Group (SEG) specializes in providing high-quality education in the fields of hospitality, business, and culinary arts.

Its core offerings include degree programs, professional development courses, and youth programs across its four renowned institutions: César Ritz Colleges, Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland, HIM Business School, and Swiss Hotel Management School. SEG's programs are designed to equip students with essential business skills and an understanding of global hospitality operations, catering to a diverse clientele that includes international students from over 110 nationalities. These educational opportunities address the growing demand for skilled professionals in the hospitality industry worldwide, focusing on experiential learning and practical applications. The geographical markets served by SEG encompass Europe, Asia, and the Americas, allowing them to attract a global student body committed to pursuing careers in hospitality and related sectors.

Swiss Education Group generates revenue primarily through tuition fees from its educational programs and professional courses. The business model involves direct-to-consumer transactions, where students enroll in various programs tailored to their career aspirations within the hospitality sector. SEG typically structures its pricing based on the type and duration of the program, with comprehensive packages that may include accommodation and other amenities. Additional revenue streams are derived from partnerships with industry leaders and participation in recruitment forums, connecting students with potential employers.

By fostering relationships with hospitality businesses, SEG enhances its value proposition to students and contributes to its revenue stability, aligning educational outcomes with industry needs. Swiss Education Group is focusing on expanding its educational offerings and geographic footprint. The company is in the process of developing new programs aimed at enhancing its curriculum in response to industry trends and student feedback. SEG is targeting growth opportunities in emerging markets, with plans to establish a presence in Asia and the Americas by the end of 2025.

The funding received from the acquisition by Summer Capital will be allocated to bolster marketing initiatives and infrastructure improvements to support these expansion efforts.
