BOOST Festival; Industry in motion

The BOOST Festival – Industry in Motion brings together SMEs from the manufacturing sector in the eastern Netherlands and connection regions (Germany) to explore how digitalisation can drive productivity, innovation and future-proof growth. 

Through inspiring good practices, interactive sessions and networking opportunities, participants will discover how technologies such as AI, digital twins and smart sensors can be applied in practice.
