Global Atlanta - September 4, 2009
When the Georgia Institute of Technology opened a logistics innovation center Aug. 20 in Costa Rica, the country's president turned out to personally offer his support. In a keynote speech at a launch event in San Jose, President Oscar Arias said Tech's expertise in supply chain management would usher in a new era of prosperity by helping Costa Rican companies better reach overseas markets with their products... Georgia Tech President G.P. "Bud" Peterson traveled to Costa Rica to mark the occasion, which he said represents an emerging model in higher education that calls for universities to engage in building up the global communities where they work.
