What does innovation mean for an SME? And what's the role of new technologies in it?
For many companies, Industry 4.0 is an empty phrase. It is often complex to see the translation into a concrete application, and even more so to estimate what the real benefits of the investment will be. Nevertheless, there are many fine examples of Flemish companies achieving growth thanks to Industry 4.0 technology, including SMEs in your region.
A number of SMEs will present their success stories during an inspiration session by and on behalf of business managers on Tuesday 10 December.
Program
Our SME event takes place at BORGinsole in Rotselaar, which manufactures custom-made insoles. Exmore, a new member of Flanders Make, installed a new production line here and is excited to present it to you.
Furthermore, three other SMEs will present their keys to success and how new technologies helped them achieve it. This inspirational session is they ideal moment to network with other SMEs out of the region. The session is free, but registration is required.
