Located in Singapore, the St.Gallen Institute of Management in Asia (SGI-HSG) is the University of St.Gallen's first international institute and serves as a platform for Asia-related teaching, research, and services since its establishment in 2011. The SGI's vision is to foster exchange in teaching and research between Asia and Europe and to cultivate a better understanding of both cultures, regions, and economies. It aims to bridge Asia and continental Europe, connecting HSG students and faculty members with Asia and Singapore at all levels of higher education through mutual exchange, teaching, and specific research, emphasising a practical approach and integrative view. The SGI facilitates those collaborations by means of a permanent presence in Singapore. It puts a strong emphasis on collaborations with local partner universities, enabling students to spend part of their studies in Singapore and Switzerland.
