Recently, emlyon business school Asia Campus organized a one-week international winter study program, bringing together a delegation of students and faculty from British Management University (BMU) in Tashkent to Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Centered on the theme of cross-cultural exchange and innovation, the program combined academic sessions, company visits, and cultural immersion. Through courses co-designed with partner institutions, students explored topics such as sustainability, innovation methods, and business practices, while gaining insights into the environmental, social, and economic challenges faced by companies in Asian markets.

By engaging in case discussions, collaborative learning, and on-site industry visits, participants strengthened their ability to connect theory with real-world contexts and developed a deeper understanding of emerging Asian economies. The program also highlighted the value of international collaboration and practice-oriented learning in preparing students for a globalized business environment.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to British Management University in Tashkent for their strong engagement throughout the program, and to Ton Duc Thang University for their close collaboration and generous support. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to advancing international cooperation, cross-cultural learning, and practice-oriented education.
