Unlock your success

Do you recognize this?

Your business is growing, but margins are under pressure due to rising costs for materials and personnel. Passing on these costs to your customers is difficult, because it may negatively impact your relationship with customers.. In addition, finding and keeping good employees remains a challenge. The aging population contributes to this challenge, and valuable knowledge is disappearing from your organization. This endangers the continuity of your products and services.

You want a company where employees are engaged, stay long-term, and where innovation and customer satisfaction are paramount.

With Datawerf, you can make that possible!

FAQ

Datawerf helps you chart a strategic course for digitizing your business. By using data and digital tools, you can work more efficiently, improve customer satisfaction, and increase your profit margins. This will also reduce your reliance on hard-to-find staff and keep knowledge within your company. 

This track offers you six weeks of support from an independent digital expert selected specifically for your business. The expert comes to your location for approximately two days a week to help you digitize your business processes. At the end of the program, you will have a clear picture of your digital maturity, a concrete follow-up plan, and insight into how your customers experience your digital innovations.

Scoping sessions are intensive workshops in which you explore with our experts whether your chosen digital idea is viable. During these sessions, you will gain insight into what your customers think of your digital plans and develop a concise approach to move forward. The track includes two workshops and a final presentation, and a Digital Maturity Assessment as a baseline measurement.

Digitalzh is your partner in digital innovation. We help SMEs and startups in South Holland successfully digitize their business processes. Whether you are facing staff shortages, tight margins, or higher quality requirements, we believe digitalization can provide the solution. Together with our partners and experts, we support you in implementing digital innovations and developing the necessary skills.

Digitalzh is part of the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs). These hubs, like Digitalzh, were created to support companies across Europe in their digital transformation. Co-funded by the European Union, we work closely with partners such as InnovationQuarter and TU Delft to help companies with digital innovations, skills development, and financial advice.

We focus on startups and SMEs based in South Holland across all sectors. Whether you are just starting out with digitalization or are already more advanced, Digitalzh offers tailored support to get your business ready for the future.

Digitalzh works with a wide range of partners, including InnovationQuarter, TU Delft, the Province of South Holland, the European Union, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate. We also collaborate with field labs, colleges, employer organizations, and other service providers to offer you the best possible support in your digital transformation.

After you contact us, we will pair you directly with a Digitalzh connector who matches your sector and content challenge. The connector will schedule a no-obligation appointment with you for an intake. During an intake, online or at your location, we will discuss your challenge and together draw up an action plan. This is followed by an analysis and advice on the next steps. What those next steps are varies by project and is customized.

Digitization offers numerous benefits, including:

  1. Improved quality and flexibility in production.
  2. Reduced reliance on labor through automation.
  3. More efficient use of materials and energy, leading to lower costs.
  4. Faster and more reliable delivery, enabling new business models.

Digitalzh offers the following services:

  1. Expert advice and support on digital innovation and strategy, cyber resilience, and funding issues.
  2. Explore, test, and develop digital solutions in our field labs.
  3. Workshops and master classes.
  4. Developing internationally: growing across borders.

The intake, assessment, and advice are free and without obligation for SMEs and midcaps (up to 3,000 employees). TThe cost of the digitization process depends on the specific actions you take. Digitalzh will help you take full advantage of the subsidies and schemes available for digitization.

 Digitalzh uses grants created to help SME entrepreneurs digitize their businesses. You do not have to apply for the subsidies yourself. We have already done that for you. This way, we can help you at little to no cost.

No, you can use several services. For example, do you want to expand internationally and need financing for this? We can help you with both. Discuss your challenges with our Digitalzh connectors, and they will advise you.

We obviously take your valuable time into account, but you should account for at least an hour for the intake, assessment, and advice. The time required for the next steps in the process depends entirely on your digitalization strategy. You have full control over the amount of time you invest in digitization.

A Digitalzh connector is a specialist who will help you develop the right digitalization strategy for your business. They identify your company's opportunities and challenges and provide independent advice on the best approach. The connector also acts as your guide through our network of experts and partners, ensuring you receive the best possible support.

No problem! If you don't yet know exactly how you want to digitalize, our connector will guide you step by step. Together you explore the possibilities and map out the opportunities for your company. The connector will help you draw up a concrete plan and guide you throughout the entire process.

After you contact us, we immediately pair you with a connector that fits your specific challenge and industry. The connector schedules an intake meeting to discuss your needs and goals. Based on this conversation, the connector will draw up an action plan and you will receive independent advice on the next steps. Then you can get started on your digitalization project together with our experts and partners.

The process begins with an introduction to one of our Digitalzh connectors. After you contact us, we will pair you with a connector that fits your specific challenge and sector. During an intake meeting, online or at your location, we will discuss your digitalization needs and together draw up an action plan. You then receive independent advice on the best next steps and we put you in touch with the right experts and partners to get started right away.

Our approach is specifically designed for startups and SMEs based in South Holland across all sectors. Whether you want to produce more without additional staff, work more efficiently and cheaply, or improve the quality and speed of your deliveries, Digitalzh can help you solve these challenges through digitalization.

Of course, we always treat your information confidentially. We also ensure that, if applicable, no direct competitors are in the same peer group unless you specifically request it. Because make no mistake: digitalization is precisely something you benefit from when you tackle it together with your competitors. The advantages of joint innovation outweigh the potential drawbacks of sharing knowledge with competitors.
