The Dutch manufacturing industry is running at full speed. Despite the pandemic, companies have made many innovations in recent years and they have clearly not been idle in that area either. The upcoming TechniShow trade show and ESEF Maakindustrie offer the opportunity to bring that to the fore.
During MTL Metaal Magazine's webinar, MTL Talk, Mark Courage, André Gaalman and Niels van Olffen, along with Tom van der Meer, looked ahead to the trade shows and what visitors can expect there.
The future lies in Smart Industry
One thing already became clear: the future lies in Smart Industry. According to Mark Courage, Director Smart Industry at TNO, digitizing industry and the road to a circular economy go hand in hand. So if you're not already working on this as a manufacturing company, you'd better start soon!
André Gaalman: "If you really want to be among the winners of the future as a company, a culture change will be needed. That change starts with management. Management needs to have a very clear vision of where the manufacturing industry is going, what that means for their company and how they can respond to that."
