Ambienta’s Spaggiari acquires ESDS to expand into Iberia and LATAM

Ambienta’s portfolio company Spaggiari has completed the acquisition of E-Schooling Dream Shaper (ESDS), an education software group operating in Iberia and Latin America. The transaction represents Spaggiari’s fourth add-on under Ambienta’s ownership and marks its first acquisition outside Italy.

Founded in 2007, ESDS supports educational institutions with the digital management of academic and administrative processes, covering data management, analytics, and student and parent engagement.

Its product suite centers on two management information system platforms, eSchooling and iScholar, alongside DreamShaper, a project-based learning solution. Together, these platforms serve more than 3,000 schools and 1.5 million students.

The founders and management team of ESDS are reinvesting alongside Ambienta and will remain actively involved in the business.

The acquisition extends Spaggiari’s dematerialization strategy beyond Italy into Iberia, Brazil, and other Latin American markets, aligning with Ambienta’s broader investment mandate focused on resource efficiency and pollution control.

> “The ESDS acquisition is perfectly aligned with our M&A strategy for Spaggiari, adding high-quality MIS software in new markets of Iberia and LATAM and an innovative learning solution which we’ll market across the group to unlock synergies and expand our addressable market,” said Andrea Florio, investment director at Ambienta, in a statement.
