SINGAPORE and BEIJING, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INSEAD, The Business School for the World, and Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management (Tsinghua SEM), jointly announced the extension of their strategic partnership for another five years.
This marks almost two decades of success for the Tsinghua-INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) programme.
The renewed agreement was signed by Professor Francisco Veloso, Dean of INSEAD, and Professor Bai Chong-En, Dean of Tsinghua SEM, at a ceremony held in Beijing on 22 May. The ceremony was joined by faculty, staff, students and alumni from both schools.
Professor Francisco Veloso, Dean of INSEAD , said, "I am very proud of our strong partnership with Tsinghua SEM. Together, we have built a truly global programme that not only prepares executives to lead across borders but also fosters a deep understanding of business in both the East and the West. We are excited to continue this journey and support the next generation of global leaders."
INSEAD's presence in Asia has grown significantly over the past two decades, anchored by its Singapore campus and strengthened through strategic partnerships such as TIEMBA. Today, INSEAD Asia Campus serves as a vital hub for world-class leadership education, with a diverse portfolio of programmes designed to develop responsible leaders across industries.
The school's Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) Asia track has attracted senior leaders from across the region, offering immersive learning experiences tailored to the complexities of Asian markets. In addition, MBA participants can begin their journey at INSEAD's Singapore campus, which demonstrates the school's dedication to preparing global business leaders with a deep understanding of Asia.
Beyond degree programmes, INSEAD has expanded its impact through Executive Education and Customised Corporate Programmes, partnering with leading multinational firms to develop transformational leadership strategies tailored to the Asia-Pacific landscape. These initiatives empower executives to navigate the evolving business environment while embracing cultural intelligence and innovation.
As INSEAD marks 25 years in Singapore, its influence continues to grow. Chinese students, faculty, and alumni have played a vital role in this journey. They contribute to the classroom with their unique perspectives, advance research that combines academic rigour with real-world relevance, and make a lasting impact across sectors in Asia and around the world.
Professor Bai Chong-En, Dean of Tsinghua SEM, said, " The Tsinghua SEM has always been dedicated to serving as a bridge that closely integrates diverse disciplines, business with technology, theory with practice, and is committed to fostering deeper connections between China and the world.
Our partnership with INSEAD has been successful, marked by enduring achievements. The TIEMBA programme has fostered global connections and contributed to economic cooperation between China and other nations. We are committed to strategically advancing this collaboration in line with our shared vision for global excellence."
Over the past four decades, Tsinghua SEM has become one of the world's most acclaimed business schools, a magnet for entrepreneurial activities and top professionals from across China and beyond. International collaborations with institutions such as INSEAD, MIT and Columbia University have enhanced global engagement, while partnerships with over 100 universities worldwide have bolstered student exchanges.
The TIEMBA dual-degree programme began in June 2007 with an inaugural cohort of 45 participants from 17 nationalities. Since then, the 22-month programme has graduated over 680 global executives from 51 nationalities, with credentials from two of the world's most prestigious academic institutions.
Designed for senior professionals, the TIEMBA programme blends East and West. With its flexible modular format and strong support for career advancement, the programme offers both immediate applicability and long-term value. Participants benefit from global exposure, diverse peer interactions, and a strategic curriculum designed to prepare them to lead with purpose across cultures and markets.
Over the past 18 years, the TIEMBA programme has consistently ranked among the world's top EMBA programmes. Its graduates represent a wide range of industries and geographies, and many occupy C-suite or entrepreneurial roles with global impact.
The new agreement will extend the TIEMBA programme through 2032, welcoming future cohorts across INSEAD's global campuses in Fontainebleau, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi, as well as Tsinghua SEM's campuses in Beijing and Shenzhen.
Upon graduation, they will be part of two powerful alumni networks. These global communities offer lifelong access to a vibrant, engaged community of leaders, enhancing personal growth, business collaboration, and global influence.

INSEAD and Tsinghua SEM renew TIEMBA partnership, strengthening global leadership in Asia and beyond
News Summary:
- Relativity's generative AI case intelligence solution, aiR for Case Strategy, launched for general availability today.
- aiR for Case Strategy extracts key facts from evidence and organizes them into clear timelines, summaries and draft work product, empowering lawyers and litigation professionals to construct the story of their case or investigation with greater speed, confidence and collaboration.
- Early users have unlocked significant value, surfacing key insights sooner, pulling facts together up to 70% faster and freeing thousands of hours of attorney time for high-impact work.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced the general availability of its generative AI-powered case intelligence solution, Relativity aiR for Case Strategy. Designed with lawyers and litigation professionals in mind, aiR for Case Strategy makes it faster and simpler to develop case narratives, enabling users to auto-extract facts, visualize fact chronologies, accelerate deposition preparation, and create document, witness and transcript summaries.
"Generative AI is redefining what's possible in case preparation, empowering legal teams to move from information to insight with greater speed and precision than ever before," said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "We're committed to expanding our case intelligence capabilities because giving our partners and customers a clearer, more complete understanding of their matters sooner enables them to focus on serving their clients, creating greater impact and building narratives that ultimately advance justice."
Legal teams working across complex disputes often face pressure to understand the facts and issues earlier in the life cycle of a matter. aiR for Case Strategy helps establish a clear factual foundation by revealing key events, illuminating gaps in evidence and highlighting the relationships among people, documents and testimony. This level of context is especially important in disputes and litigation, effectively enabling stronger strategic planning and more confident preparation for witness meetings, interviews and depositions.
Elevating strategic casework from data to decision-making
More than 50 customers have tested aiR for Case Strategy and extracted approximately 600,000 facts through Relativity's limited general availability program. These early adopters achieved time savings, cost efficiencies, improved collaboration and increased scalability. Tasks that once took hours—sifting through emails, chats and contracts to extract facts, build chronologies and draft summaries—now take minutes. From the outset of a matter, users can uncover the story in their data, shape a case narrative and determine how they want to argue the matter.
"With aiR for Case Strategy, we can see the story behind the evidence much earlier in the process. It helps extract and organize facts into timelines so our teams can quickly turn information into actionable insights," said Michael Song, Head of GTDocs at Gilbert + Tobin. "That allows our lawyers to spend more time shaping strategy, refining narratives and anticipating challenges, freeing them to focus on the parts of a case that drive the greatest impact."
Timeline visualizations make it easy to identify gaps or blind spots in the data, helping teams build a complete picture of events. The solution also generates holistic witness summaries that give users a clear view of each key player and support critical decisions about whether a deposition is warranted. Additionally, the solution provides a rich set of interview questions grounded in both the documents and underlying facts, enabling teams to effectively probe each individual's role in the matter.
"aiR for Case Strategy dramatically reduces the manual work of extracting facts and building useful timelines in Relativity," said Martha Louks, Managing Director, Discovery Technology Services, McDermott Will & Emery. "It offers a novel way to eliminate tedious work and allow attorneys to focus on case analysis and strategy."
Accelerating insight across complex, fast-paced matters
Relativity partner Page One, Inc., used aiR for Case Strategy to support its law firm client on a fast-paced financial services case where large volumes of lengthy deposition transcripts were creating significant pressure on the team. Using the solution to summarize and review 32 transcripts—each 200 to 300-plus pages—the team quickly identified and organized the most important information 70% faster.
"aiR for Case Strategy exceeded expectations by proving not just that it worked, but that it was repeatable, defensible and intuitive," said Andrew Milauskas, Chief Operating Officer of Page One, Inc. "We went from spending hours per transcript to extracting key facts within minutes. Our confidence grew quickly once we saw that aiR for Case Strategy consistently surfaced the same core insights we would have found manually."
Transcripts are central to litigation strategy, from depositions to hearings and trials. With aiR for Case Strategy, legal teams can unlock greater clarity from their transcripts through advanced automation and collaboration features. The solution enables users to automatically generate transcript summaries, collaboratively mark up and annotate testimony, and designate key excerpts for trial preparation and presentation. These enhanced capabilities accelerate credibility assessments and empower teams to plot next steps with confidence.
For litigation support professionals, transcript features introduce multi-sync video deposition capabilities, a streamlined workflow for importing depositions and associated files, and exhibit-linking tools that make transcript management more efficient and easier to navigate.
Breaking down silos to build cohesive case stories
Within RelativityOne, aiR for Case Strategy serves as a centralized hub that enables case teams to work from a shared repository of key case intelligence. Teams can move directly from document review into crafting their strategic case story and preparing for investigations, witness examinations, depositions and trial all within one secure, collaborative environment.
"What we're seeing now with generative AI tools is tighter overlap across teams, reviewers, case teams, and partners working from the same pool of insights," said Michael Frankel, Counsel at Troutman Pepper Locke. "The silos are breaking down, and everyone can contribute to building the narrative earlier."
aiR for Case Strategy is currently available in the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UAE, Brazil, South Africa, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, with additional markets to be added over time. The solution is projected to launch in RelativityOne Government in the first half of 2026. To learn more about aiR for Case Strategy, join Relativity on Feb. 19 at 12 p.m. CT for a webinar that walks through how AI is reshaping case strategy to get to the heart of a case faster.
