The Singapore Institute of Management is a prominent education and lifelong learning institution in the region. Recognised for empowering individuals and businesses through continuous learning, SIM has been a leader in developing work and industry skills since its establishment in 1964 by the Singapore Economic Development Board.

Committed to providing skills-based learning experiences through its two sub-brands, SIM Global Education (SIM GE) and SIM Academy (SIMA), SIM's mission is to help students, professionals, and enterprises "Learn for Life, Thrive for Life."

As we commemorate our 60th anniversary this year, SIM remains dedicated to lifelong learning, ensuring that individuals and organisations have the necessary tools and knowledge to succeed in an ever-changing world.

SIM's 60th anniversary is not just an occasion to celebrate; it is an opportunity to express our gratitude to everyone who was and is part of SIM, and to also reinforce our purpose, providing inspiration and aspiration to learners.

SIM Anniversary Tag
An infinite loop is integrated in SIM’s 60th anniversary tag (SIM60 tag) to highlight our ceaseless pursuit in fostering lifelong learning and bringing about social impact. The tag symbolises our lasting heritage and unchanging commitment towards learners.

SIM has grown in tandem with Singapore, responding and innovating to meet manpower needs at different phases of its development, into becoming a leading private institution for education and lifelong learning.

The Singapore Institute of Management (SIM Group) was founded in 1964 on the initiative of the Economic Development Board (EDB) to support Singapore’s industrialisation. A professional management institute was set up and Dr Richard Eu Keng Mun was invited to be our Founding Chairman.

We started with the social mission of advancing management excellence and developing manpower in support of Singapore’s growing need for professional leadership and managerial know-how. Today, we are reputed for our commitment to a high standard of professionalism and quality, and relevance to industry.
