From its inception, TCG CREST placed collaboration at the core of its research and education model. Over the past five years, the institution has built a strong ecosystem of external engagements spanning leading academic institutions, global industry partners, government bodies, and civil society organisations.
Today, CREST sustains 20+ active academic collaborations and nearly a dozen industry partnerships, largely with multinational corporations. Collaborations at CREST are guided by a strategic focus on consolidation and retention, strengthening partnerships that deliver shared impact.
This approach enables the delivery of complex, mission-driven projects across the private sector and government, expanding CREST’s external footprint and earning recognition from leading chambers of commerce and engagement with the Embassies of the United States and the United Kingdom.
With Deemed-to-be University status, CREST has unlocked new opportunities for joint PhD programmes, academic exchange, executive education, and industry immersion. 2026 will further scale these collaborative initiatives.
