Wed, 02 Jun 2010 8:30:45 GMT http://www.nitl.ie/NITL_in_China/Default.337.html Since NITL was founded 12 years ago we have actively engaged in collaborative endeavours with both universities and industry worldwide (Europe, the US, Australasia and the Middle East).

This is particularly true given the increasing globalisation of business and the concomitant emergence of more international supply chain configurations.
