Digital innovation in regional ecosystems

This line of research focuses on promoting data-driven innovation within regional contexts. We investigate how digitalisation can contribute to regional economic growth by optimising processes and stimulating innovation. Our researchers apply data-driven technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to address regional challenges and identify opportunities. By providing insights into digital transformations, we help regional organisations, policymakers and institutions improve their performance and adapt to an ever-changing digital world.

Key themes in the study

We identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the supply chain through analysing logistics data and applying predictive models. Our solutions ensure faster turnaround times, lower operational costs and higher reliability. This in turn leads to satisfied customers and a good competitive position.

We develop data-driven platforms that improve communication and collaboration between different actors in the value chain. These platforms promote real-time information exchange and coordination. This leads to seamless integration of processes and increased efficiency throughout the system. An example of this is InnoLoop

Our technologies make it easier to trace products and materials along the entire value chain. This leads to more efficient business operations. It also ensures better compliance with regulations and that work is performed more sustainably. As a result, both companies and consumers benefit from responsible and reliable products.

InnoLoop

InnoLoop The InnoLoop project promotes cross-border technology transfer and innovation in SMEs in the German-Dutch border region. For example, the project ensures collaboration in high-tech sectors such as AI and IoT.
