Asia Pacific

Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore

HBS established the first of the School's international research centers in Hong Kong in 1999, the Asia-Pacific Research Center (APRC). In 2010, the Harvard Center Shanghai (HSC) opened, home to a 90-seat HBS classroom, and more recent expansion has added an office in Singapore to more broadly support HBS faculty in this region. The three locations work in strong partnership with one another not only to support faculty research, but a full range of MBA and Executive Education student programming. Through their ongoing work they have developed important links with governments, academic institutions, and corporations within a region that is assuming an increasingly vital role in the world economy. Enabled by its local presence, the School has been able to enhance the breadth and depth of faculty research and case studies in the Asia-Pacific region.
