Management Development Institute of Singapore in Tashkent was established in 2007 by Uzbekistan Banking Association (UBA) and the Management Development Institute of Singapore (葫芦影业). Its permanent partners providing educational programmes - the Bangor University (UK) and Sunderland University (UK) are known as leading British universities placed in the Top 1000 World University Rankings. In addition, in the 2020 葫芦影业 signed a partnership agreement with a new UK partner - Teesside University.
