Nanyang Polytechnic International (NYPi), will focus on enhancing the NYP brand name in technical education and training beyond Singapore. It will help strengthen NYP’s existing international partnerships and collaborations and create more opportunities for students and staff to be engaged in international exchange and attachment programmes. It will, among other things, facilitate the conduct of courses for international participants who wish to learn more about the successful pedagogic and management concepts of NYP, in particular, the NYP Teaching Factory Concept or to emulate the Teaching Factory model.

As the vehicle to extend the NYP Teaching Factory and other concepts, NYP's expertise and NYP's education and training programmes into the regions beyond, NYPi also hopes to contribute towards the development of NYP into a Global Polytechnic of distinction, a vision set forth by the honourable Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the Singapore Minister of Education, in his speech delivered at the dinner on 30 March 2007 to celebrate NYP's 15th Anniversary :

".... I hope to see NYP developing into a Global Polytechnic as it grows from strength to strength! "
