In the dynamic world of Limburg's manufacturing industry, innovation is becoming increasingly important. Roy Golsteijn, business developer at the Limburg Investment and Development Company (LIOF), explains how Klikopmorgen helps SMEs take (first) steps toward Smart Industry.
Innovation as the key to growth
The manufacturing industry in Limburg is a diverse landscape, ranging from traditional manufacturing companies to high-tech pioneers. Despite the challenges posed by changing market conditions, Roy sees a promising future for this sector. "Digitalization and the transition to Smart Industry, also known as industry 4.0, are crucial for the growth and innovation of our companies," he says. "By harnessing technologies such as robotization, automation, data analytics and artificial intelligence, companies can not only operate more efficiently, but also respond faster to customer needs and enter new markets."
Practical Support for SMEs
Klikopmorgen offers the SME manufacturing industry (in Zeeland, North Brabant and Limburg) concrete and practical support. From quick scans to identify digital needs to tailored strategic advice and coaching. The initiatives are aimed at guiding companies through the digital transformation process. "We also organize workshops and offer practical experience in field labs so that employees can gain the necessary knowledge and skills," Roy explains. "This support is tailored to the specific needs of the companies and can be individual or group-based."
"Klikopmorgen.nl supports the SME manufacturing industry in taking (the first) steps towards Smart Industry by deploying digitalization experts and sharing knowledge free of charge. In this way, the program makes itself incredibly relevant to Limburg's manufacturing companies." - Roy Golsteijn
