Insead opens S$55m leadership centre in Singapore, raises capacity by 50%

INSEAD on Thursday opened its new S$55 million Leadership Development Centre in Buona Vista, marking the renown business school's 15th year in Singapore.

The six-storey, 10,000 square metre centre raises capacity by 50 per cent, and will further establish Singapore as hub for business education in the region.

Said Insead dean Ilian Mihov: "The Leadership Development Centre is a significant milestone for Insead in our continued global growth and commitment to providing relevant and locally-driven business education across Asia, and globally ... We are proud to be a longstanding contributor to this thriving and constantly innovating global business centre. We owe much of our success here to the continued support of the Singapore government and the Economic Development Board in particular."

In 2014, participants on the Insead Asia campus in Singapore hailed from over 60 countries. They include 50 participants in the Asia Section of the Global Executive MBA and 2,500 in executive education.

There are currently 63 permanent faculty members based in Singapore from 22 countries, and 7,026 Insead alumni living and working in the Asia Pacific region.
