Smart Industry

Smart Industry is a Dutch initiative run by Stichting Smart Industry to help manufacturing companies strengthen productivity, innovation and resilience through digitalisation. It supports organisations facing staff shortages, rising costs, changing customer demands and sustainability requirements, helping them turn ambitions into practical improvements.

Its guidance includes growth pathways and practical roadmaps tailored to business functions such as production, engineering, research and development, marketing, procurement, logistics and maintenance. These pathways address people, processes, technology and data, and help companies identify relevant goals and next steps. Smart Industry experts advise manufacturers on digitalisation and automation, including suitable technologies and applications. The organisation also offers assessments, advisory conversations, training, vouchers and information about subsidies.

Smart Industry shares knowledge through articles, white papers, videos, case studies, a knowledge base and events, including workshops, webinars, business visits and courses. Topics include artificial intelligence, robotics, data management, digital work instructions, knowledge retention, supply-chain collaboration and cybersecurity.
