The events underscored KLU's commitment to fostering academic excellence, scientific research, and industry collaboration in the region.
"These two events brought together the experience, expertise and perspectives of science and industry, promoting a broader discourse on the sustainable future of supply chains worldwide”, said KLU President Prof. Andreas Kaplan. “They are a starting point towards our goal to strengthen the links between science and industry in both Vietnam and Southeast Asia.”

Bringing Together Industry and Science
The South-East Asia Conference brought together distinguished experts from science and industry, to promote a broader discourse on supply chains for a sustainable future. In two panels, international experts from both academia and the industry discussed sustainability and lifelong learning as future skills in supply chain management and the environmental challenges and opportunities of supply chains in South East Asia. The panels were moderated by KLU’s Prof. Prisca Brosi and Prof. Alan McKinnon.

KLU VIETNAM CAMPUS
The research symposium and network conference are part of KLU’s journey to start a new campus in Vietnam’s vibrant business and logistics hub Ho Chi Minh City. Founded in 2010, KLU’s vision is to provide the world’s best leadership and management education, firmly rooted in an operations mindset. We strongly believe that effective leadership anywhere in the world requires a deep understanding of logistics, operations, and supply chain management.
In Ho Chi Minh City, Southeast Asia’s logistics hub, KLU aims to advance these fields through both research and teaching. Kühne Logistics University intends to offer dedicated programs in logistics and supply chain management at both the bachelor's and master’s levels, as well as provide executive education and lifelong learning opportunities.
