GBSB Global's Open Program Operations Management in Spain is offered in collaboration with Zaragoza Logistics Center and MIT Global Scale Network. It is a practical program with a full agenda of professionally guided visits to destinations like the ADIFE Logistics facilities, the Plaza and the airport, among a host of other companies and government agencies. Zaragoza is not a major city like Barcelona or Madrid, but the government had a vision and set out to make it a strategic hub for transportation which has added tremendous value to the municipality and its economy. Students are also invited to Imaginarium, an international spread company, Itannova, the Technology Institute of Aragon and TMZ, the Maritime Terminal of Zaragoza which has managed to link the city with the world through the sea.

WHAT IS ZARAGOZA LOGISTICS CENTER?

Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC) is a research and educational institute founded by the Government of Aragon in Spain in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Zaragoza. ZLC's mission is to create a global center of excellence for research and education in logistics and supply chain management that actively engages with industry and the public sector to develop and disseminate knowledge. To accomplish its mission, ZLC partnered with the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics to form the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, a distinguished collaboration between industry, government and academia.
