Through your steadfast support, Center for Business Studies and Innovation in Asia-Pacific (CBSI-AP) is now recognized as a full-fledged center by the University of San Francisco. It was inaugurated on September 29, 2022 with broader geographic coverage and a renewed focus on innovation. In its eight years of operation, CBSI has become a prestigious and visible platform connecting scholars, practitioners, policymakers, students, and alumni. CBSI-AP is the newest research center at USF that focuses on international business, leveraging the Jesuit’s historical connections to China/Asia and 500 years of the Jesuit tradition of linking global education with commerce.
