The event provided a platform for participants to share experiences, exchange ideas, and develop practical strategies for leveraging digital innovation to enhance knowledge management, information access, and service delivery. Through presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities, the TCBM staff gained valuable insights into fostering partnerships and creating sustainable knowledge ecosystems in an increasingly digital world.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the Director Tropics College of Business and Management for giving its staff the opportunity to attend the two-day ULIA workshop.
