Let's Hear From Our Partners
We are privileged to receive endorsements by the top management of our Corporate Partners for our Centre and the International Trading Programme (ITP).

Agrocorp International is proud to endorse The International Trading Programme (ITP), managed by NTU's Centre of Excellence in International Trading (CEIT). The ITP has been carefully curated, drawing on Singapore’s vast expertise as a global center of trade, to produce young professionals who have the skills to handle the rapidly evolving commodities landscapes.
We are also happy to see that there is a good degree of focus in the curriculum in the agricultural and food markets in which Agrocorp operates and hope that some of the students who pass through the program will join us and lead the company into its next phase of growth. Congratulations to the NTU Board, Enterprise Singapore and faculty partners for the successful launch of the ITP!
As a company founded on entrepreneurship, innovation and the hard work of its people, Wilmar International clearly identifies with the objectives of this Centre. I am pleased to endorse the International Trading Programme (ITP) at NTU.
More than 2 centuries ago, our forefathers founded successful trading and shipping companies that provided the foundation for our local economy. Today, trading is no longer a simple matter of buying and selling; managing a global integrated supply chain efficiently across nations is key to its success. The sector needs young talent with drive, a global mindset and a willingness to work in new frontiers. More than ever, opportunities abound for the bold, brave and talented.
Wilmar is encouraged by the holistic and rigorous programme developed by CEIT and honoured to be a founding partner of this programme. I wish NTU success in its endeavours.
