Participants included academics, practitioners, entrepreneurs, and students. Activities comprised presentations, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The materials covered identifying potential partners, building trust, communicating collaboratively, and using digital technology to broaden business networks. Participants learned about selecting partners whose goals and capabilities match business needs, maintaining mutually beneficial relationships, and sustaining cooperation through effective communication. Digital platforms were discussed as tools for connecting with potential partners and accessing broader business opportunities. The activity is expected to improve participants’ knowledge and readiness to establish productive partnerships, strengthen competitiveness, use resources effectively, and promote sustainable business growth in a changing market within an increasingly digital economy.]]>
