Program

After last year's success, the MSc Digital Technology program is organizing a Mini-Symposium again this year. The theme this time is AI, Automation and Data Management - opportunities and challenges for the future-proof organization.

External speaker Reinder Hoekstra, Chief Operating Officer at Meijer Group, talks about how they exploit the opportunities of automation and AI within their metalworking and material handling company. Afterwards you can participate in one of three workshops led by our graduates. They will share their expertise on a theme-related topic. During the workshops you can ask questions and participate in discussions on the topic, in order to really get to the heart of the matter. We conclude the afternoon with drinks.

Get inspired, think with us and help build tomorrow's future-proof organization!
