It was a great pleasure to participate in TCIS Africa 2024, that was held in Egypt . In light of this major event, MARC was thrilled to host TCIS members and committee on its premises, where we all expressed the shared belief that Africa's time has begun. It was a great opportunity for us to introduce our facilities and share with TCIS committee our objectives and future plans. Many possibilities for potential collaborations and mutual learning experiences were shared from both sides. Active collaboration and Innovation are two of MARC's core values, and we were happy to share them with TCIS.
