In a workshop with experts and companies with similar digitization needs, we will map the joint and individual challenges. This way you learn from each other’s best practices and pitfalls. You follow thematic workshops in which we share the knowledge we build up about digitization.
In addition, there are an awful lot of training opportunities in the field of digital technology in South Holland. We help you find the right one. We also set up new training courses.
From clarifying your digitization needs to testing your business case in a field lab, Digitalzh will guide you every step of the way. But that’s not all. Because when you digitize part of your business operations, the nature of the work changes. Skills you selected employees for are suddenly less or no longer relevant. Your team must now have new skills.
Those who purchase a digital service or software package can often turn to the vendor for user training. And in many cases, there are also separate providers of matching training and training materials. When you test a proof of concept in a field lab, things are different. After all, there is no well-defined product for which training already exists. Fortunately, in the Netherlands we have a particularly rich supply of education and training in the field of digital skills and technologies. Digitalzh knows the way and unlocks the training offerings for you.
- On the Smart Makers Academy website you will find an overview of programs to develop digital skills for both employees and managers.
- TU Delft offers a wide range of online lectures on a variety of subjects, a significant number of which are freely accessible.
- oZone is a learning environment for and by technical companies with accessible e-learnings on more than 400 topics.
- The Sustainability Factory always has a new range of training courses on various topics related to digitalization.
Together with fellow entrepreneurs, you participate in a digitalization workshop with experts. But do those experts only have theoretical knowledge? On the contrary, they focus on the interface between theory and practice. For example, they organize projects and challenges to solve concrete issues together with students and companies. And they supervise feasibility studies by companies in the South Holland field labs.
Using an intake and assessment, we first identify your digitalization needs. We then cluster companies based on a theme, technology, or value chain:
- Industry 4.0 (digitizing production processes), industry 5.0 (supporting people with robots), smart maintenance, smart shipping, etc.
- Technology: AI, IoT, 5G, robots, sensing, etc.
- Value chain: for example, together with suppliers and buyers
This ensures that companies with similar digitalization needs work together and learn from each other. How exactly does your digitalization need or challenge differ from that of other entrepreneurs? And in what area might you be running into the same issues? Insights from outside, from experts, or from other companies or sectors, often prove to be invaluable at this stage. Both for a clear formulation of the problem you want to solve and the goals you want to achieve.
You can submit an initial application online. After the application, we perform a comprehensive analysis and prepare a customized action plan. Our experts will guide you through every step of the process.
