MISI University, formerly known as Malaysia Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (MISI), is a supply chain focused university located in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. The university was launched as a joint initiative between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Government of Malaysia on March 22, 2011. 

MISI is an accredited university with the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia, and offers post-graduate and executive education programs in supply chain management. All post-graduate programs currently offered are MQA certified.

History 
MISI was formed in March 2011 as an academic institute focused on Supply Chain Management with three goals: deliver world-class graduate and executive education, conduct applied research that meets the highest international standards of academic rigor, and actively engage industry to create and disseminate cutting edge supply chain knowledge. MISI admitted its first batch of graduate students for its flagship 10-month, residential Master of Science in Supply Chain Management program. Organizations such as InvestKL considered MISI to be a partner for attracting foreign companies to invest in the Greater Kuala Lumpur region. In the first ten years, nearly 50 multinational, regional, and local companies partnered with MISI for applied research projects and executive education in supply chain management and procurement.

MISI was a member of the MIT Global SCALE Network until 2021, when it was reorganized under Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and decided to end its affiliation with MIT.
