Smart Manufacturing Day 2026: How the manufacturing industry in Limburg is embracing digitalisation

Many manufacturing companies know that something needs to change. Staff shortages, rising energy prices, stricter regulations and increasing pressure from the supply chain: the need is urgent. What’s missing is a clear picture of how to take that step: what works? What does it cost? Where do you start?

Smart Manufacturing Day 2026 provided the answers to precisely those questions. On Monday 22 June, production managers, entrepreneurs and technical professionals gathered at the Brightlands Smart Services Campus. Not to hear a vision for 2035, but to see examples of companies that are already achieving results today.
