Academische partners en meer dan 150 bedrijven maken deel uit van het innovatieve circulaire ecosysteem van Flanders Make.
Onze strategie gebaseerd op industriële noden en langetermijntrends verzekert een nauwe aansluiting bij de industrie en haar uitdagingen. Met ons geprogrammeerd onderzoek creëren we impact in bedrijven.
Duurzaamheid, klimaat en werkbaar werk hebben een hoge prioriteit in ons onderzoek. We willen bedrijven helpen bij de ontwikkeling van duurzame, groene, slimme en geconnecteerde producten en productiesystemen, met bijzondere aandacht voor de mens en zijn interactie met machines.
Getuigenissen
"Bij onderzoek heb je de tijd en de mogelijkheid om je projectteam met hun ideeën te laten spelen. Samen kunnen jullie zoeken naar wat zou kunnen werken. Ik werkte vroeger als technisch expert, en dan ga je steeds dieper op de inhoud in. Nu, als projectmanager, ben ik altijd bezig met meerdere dingen tegelijk. Die variatie is verfrissend, daar hou ik echt van." (Diana, Technisch Projectmanager @ Flanders Make sinds 2019)

Testimonials
“In research, you have the time and the opportunity to let your project team play with their ideas. Together you can search for what might work. I used to work as a technical expert, but then you go deeper and deeper into the content. Now, as a technical project manager, I am busy with several things at the same time. That variety is refreshing, I really like that.” (Diana, Technical project manager since 2019 @ Flanders Make)
