INITIATIVE:The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Employers organizations Chambers of Commerce

A report on the meaning of Smart Industry for companies, knowledge institutions, and government in the Netherlands.

AMBITIONThe Dutch ambition is to join the frontrunners and gain a strong position within that group. The Dutch business community – large and small – holds all the keys to engage with this promising development and to join forces with the frontrunners

REPORTThe Smart Industry report defines and explains Smart Industry in the Dutch context. Smart Industry should be a cross-cutting theme within the top sector policy in which a broad coalition of companies, knowledge institutions and government should be involved.

ACTION AGENDAThe approach is in November 2014 formalised in an Action Agenda. The aim is to make the industry more competitive through faster and better utilisation of the opportunities ICT has to offer.

State of playSetting up series of field labs, 10 to begin with:

• creation of ecosystems - interrelated networks of companies and knowledge institutions –

• around the core principles of Smart Industry • practical environments to develop, test and

implement Smart Industry solutions

But still: they don’t find their way

to the SME’s(vice versa)
