Digitisation
The digital world has become an integral part of our lives. In fact, the corona crisis showed that many of us can work from home and that many innovative solutions are in line with digitisation.

Digitisation is more than a ‘handy extra’, we need it to continue growing and to keep working smarter and more efficiently. Robots can work for us when there is a shortage of professionals, and digitisation ensures that we can contact people on the other side of the world in no-time. Digitisation affects many important aspects of our lives such as healthcare and safety, as well as solutions for the climate and circularity. (link to other themes)
