EBIZ Institute
”We saw an opportunity to provide real, forward facing solutions to gaps in the evolving online educational market.”
Manley
About EBIZ Institute
The idea of EBIZ was born out of founders’ Pamela Lim and Nicholas Manley’s shared experience while members of the Harvard community. “Cambridge is the source of so many amazing innovations in education. This tiny city is home to both Harvard and MIT. It seems that every person on the street is a graduate student, doctorate, or professor of some kind. It’s a place of positive vision to be sure”, says Manley.
In addition to its claim as a hub of top tier higher learning, Cambridge also hosts industry giants such as Akamai, Apple, Google, Novartis, Amazon, Microsoft, and Pfizer, not to mention the dozens of tech startups coming out of “the most innovative square mile on the planet” in Cambridge’s Kendall Square neighborhood.
In this center of education and innovation, Nick Manley and Pamela Lim founded the Cambridge Institute of Communication Arts. “We saw an opportunity to provide real, forward facing solutions to gaps in the evolving online educational market.” says Manley. “What we’re developing represents tangible opportunity for a global community in need. It’s an opportunity to provide meaningful access to those who didn’t have it.”
“It’s not just the access either.” adds Lim, “What we’re offering is not just an invitation to view or participate in courses online, it’s an opportunity change students lives through the earning of verifiable certificates and degrees backed up by the strength and accountability of great professors from world-class universities.
In 2020, EBIZ relocated its base of operations to Singapore, creating new access catering to Asian markets and student populations. “We see great strength in rapidly emerging economies with smart and driven students in countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia to name a few. Our focus will continue to be on providing concrete and rigorous education through new and emerging technologies. We will continue to adapt and evolve with the needs of an ever changing market. Our adaptability is a strength we bring that more traditional universities can’t match. We’re excited about the future.” says Pamela Lim.
