On the Road to Smart Industry

Even before the coronavirus outbreak, European industry was facing many common challenges. Productivity is too low, the skills gap is increasing (also because of demographic developments), the linear economic business case needs to be replaced by a circular one, supported by a data-driven model. Ownership of data, its sharing and security are new issues that arise.

In addition, we started to prepare for a world post-corona. How will this affect manufacturing, supply chains, technology, and education?

Are our industries fit for the future?

Smart Industry NetherlandsThe Netherlands had almost lost its manufacturing industry by the end of last century. Currently, the Action Agenda Smart Industry 2020-2023 is being drafted (based on the first edition of 2014 and the second of 2018). By applying principles of Smart Industry, the Dutch industry has been transformed into one of the most innovative in the world today.

Czech Republic: THe Country For The FutureIn February 2019, the Czech Republic launched its ambitious Innovation Strategy of the Czech Republic 2019–2030 to put the Czech Republic among the most innovative countries in Europe by 2030: Czech Republic, The Country For The Future.

By sharing experiences, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands could mutually benefit from what has been done and learned and start a positive wave of innovation in a post-corona environment.
