Research Projects

Indonesia SEZ Study
ACI is currently working with the University of Indonesia on a joint project involving the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) comprising Batam, Bintan and Karimun. This project marks a milestone in the close ties between the two neighbouring ASEAN countries. An Agreement was signed between the two institutions for the joint SEZ study in August 2007 to kick-start the project.  

Vietnam Study
The institute is planning a similar competitiveness study in Vietnam and is exploring potential university partner for a joint study.
