NXTGEN Hightech: "Investing in technologies for smarter and more sustainable machines"
The Netherlands is a leader in the field of ultra-precise high-tech equipment. The knowledge we have here is important for solving societal challenges, for example in the areas of food, sustainable energy and health. But these challenges are becoming increasingly complex: with current technologies, we are running up against technical and economic limits.
Investeren in innovatie en kennisdeling
The National Growth Fund interviewed NXTGEN Hightech program director Monika Hoekstra about the NXTGEN Hightech program and the importance of investing in innovation and knowledge sharing.
NXTGEN will develop smarter, more efficient and sustainable machines and technologies. Besides investing in innovation, NXTGEN also provides connection and knowledge sharing. Monika Hoekstra: "The companies and knowledge institutions within our program can learn a lot from each other. That's why we encourage them to work together. In this way, organizations use each other's strengths and can face challenges together."
