Strategic Market Engagement:

Support marketing and outreach initiatives that generate qualified leads and strengthen the centres' market presence.
Develop business development tools, case studies, and sector-specific materials to support client engagement.
Identify industry events, speaking opportunities, and networking venues where the centres can enhance their market presence.
Organize and lead facility tours, small-scale events and virtual workshops for prospective clients, highlighting key offerings and capabilities of each centre.

Budgeting:
