SMU's Green Transformation Lab (GTL) was highlighted as a successful example of industry-academic cooperation. Set up jointly with DHL, it has worked with more than 150 undergraduate and postgraduate (both Masters and PhD) students across various SMU programmes since the lab was set up in 2013.  Hosted at SMU School of Information Systems, GTL aims to accelerate the evolution of sustainable logistics across the Asia-Pacific region. SMU Assistant Professor of Information Systems (Practice) and Academic Director of GTL Tan Kar Way noted that the lab was built on the complementary skills and resources of SMU and DHL. "SMU's strength in information systems, operations and risk management, business strategies, law, economics and social sciences, allied to DHL's global leadership in sustainable logistics, is a powerful combination,” she said.
