MDIS has also grown beyond partnerships with overseas universities and has effectively gone global with campuses abroad. Capitalising on the ’Singapore brand‘, MDIS has overseas campuses that include MDIS Tashkent, Uzbekistan and MDIS Malaysia; Johor. These campuses were set up in 2008 and 2013 respectively.
MDIS will continue to deliver our 'Singapore brand' education in the region to not only achieve growth for MDIS, but also to contribute in solidifying Singapore's reputation as a strong regional education hub.
The SPBA recognises and honours Singapore brands that have been developed and managed effectively through various branding initiatives. With the increasing number of homegrown brands becoming established household names, achieving this esteemed mark of success is certainly a significant milestone in the branding journey for any local brand. The award also serves as a yardstick for Small and Medium Enterprises to benchmark their brand equity to their competitors.
