In 2016 the government of Ningbo, China, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to jointly establish the Ningbo China Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (NISCI), the newest center of MIT-SCALE Network.
NISCI is an independent educational and research institution located in Ningbo, an important port city along the southeast coast of China, an economic center on the south wing of the Yangtze River Delta, and a national comprehensive test area for “The Belt Road” construction.
The Institute's mission is to become an international center of excellence for research and education in logistics and supply chain management after a decade’s effort.
NISCI has modeled its master's degree and executive education programs after MIT's curriculum, teaching methods, and evaluation systems in order to foster international supply chain management talent. The Institute has also established industrial alliances to promote enterprise-wide collaborative innovation and enhance the global competitiveness of its corporate partners, building collaborative systems for innovation through deeply-integrated research and teaching.
