Building leadership in trade
We recognize that to advance sustainable global trade, we need to invest in informing and training the people engaged in trade. Our educational initiatives reach students, educators and professionals around the world, helping them to develop, teach and implement pragmatic solutions to lead the next stage of sustainable global trade.
Our annual International Trade Rankings help students and employers identify the best trade-related masters programs around the world.
We commission the SME Sustainable Trade Awards to recognize and amplify best sustainability practices among small and medium enterprises.
SME Sustainable Trade Awards
The SME Sustainable Trade Awards provide a highly visible, globally recognized annual platform for Singapore SMEs to showcase their contributions to advancing sustainable approaches to international trade.
Global Rankings of International Trade Master's Programs
The QS International Trade Rankings help students to identify programs that will secure them employment and accelerate their trade careers, enable companies to hire work-ready talent, and provide universities with comparability, recognition and the means to enhance their global trade programs.
