Project creators: tackling 10 business challenges together

10 questions / 10 challenges

• Challenge 1: How can we organize the smart and efficient use of public charging station infrastructure?
• Challenge 2: How can we collect data from food and health apps and use it to improve nutrition?
• Challenge 3: Can smart systems and smart people together become the driving force behind a circular future?
• Challenge 4: Can technology really guarantee ‘safe and sustainable by design’ — or are we creating a false sense of security that avoids structural choices?
• Challenge 5: How can we strengthen resilience and redistribute value throughout the entire value chain — with technology as a lever, but collaboration as the key?
• Challenge 6: How can SMEs use artificial intelligence and data to align their commercial and operational processes more intelligently — without copying the complexity of a large company?
• Challenge 7: How can manufacturing companies and processes respond intelligently to fluctuating energy prices — and will energy soon become as controllable as their own production planning?
• Challenge 8: How can we turn the Einstein Telescope into a catalyst for innovation in Flanders — by involving companies now in projects that strengthen their own technological future?
• Challenge 9: How can we support operators in efficiently monitoring multiple machines at the same time — without information overload and with direct assistance in quickly diagnosing malfunctions?
• Challenge 10: How do we make designers, engineers, and companies data-literate enough to really advance machine learning projects in the process industry? (Table hosted by Catalisti)
