Knowledge ecosystem

Digital Industry Boost is a public-private partnership between Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Summa College, Mikrocentrum, Montessori College and Brainport Industries.
Together, they are committed to knowledge development and innovations to boost digitalisation of SMEs in the manufacturing industry.
Digital Industry Boost does this by putting full effort into:

• Smart Innovation: we boost the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. We do this by stimulating, inspiring and informing SMEs about smart industry innovations. These innovations help companies future-proof their business processes.
• Smart Learning: the education on offer is in line with the labour market because knowledge institutions cooperate more efficiently and flexibly among themselves and with the professional field. This also ensures educational innovation and talent development (students and professionals).
• Smart Sharing: together, we build a sustainable knowledge ecosystem in which education, government and entrepreneurs actively and equally contribute to an economically strong region. 
• Smart Factory: we strengthen existing hybrid learning environments and facilities.
