Global Vision

At the Emerging Markets Institute, we provide thought leadership on the role of emerging markets—and emerging market multinationals—in the global economy. Our Institute is bringing together preeminent practitioners and academics from around the world to create the premier research center on the role of emerging markets in the global economy.

The Institute provides a private forum for lively exchange among corporate leaders from emerging and developed markets and leading researchers. We are building the most highly regarded academic program for the study of emerging markets—with the breadth, depth, and quality of education needed to effectively prepare business leaders for success.

Our Institute offers a number of strategic advantages: leadership by eminent scholars, a commitment to global education and research, and access to Cornell’s depth in international studies.

  • access to world-class research
  • the opportunity for in-depth peer-to-peer exchanges
  • the ability to work with and recruit from a uniquely qualified pool of students
