It was a great pleasure meeting with Baldacchino, CEO of Malta and a distinguished member of the Global Advisory Board of the Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning and Innovation.
Our discussions identified opportunities for academic and industry collaboration, including co-developing new qualifications tailored to the hashtag market and wider regional priorities.
We also discussed the upcoming hashtag Annual Conference taking place on 23 October 2026, which promises to bring together leaders, practitioners, and innovators from across sectors.

Stay tuned for exciting updates and future collaborative initiatives between the Stirling Centre and FHRD. We look forward to hopefully meeting many of you in hashtag during the conference.
