Description and goal of the project
The project is about designing and building supply chain solutions using smart technology.
ICT students will have the opportunity to gain international experience and develop their professional skills. More specifically:

  • Help to transform supply chains into smart and resilient systems that leverage the latest high-tech innovations, reduce time-to-market and costs, improve overall effectiveness and actively support entrepreneurship and small businesses
  • Before the BIP takes place: We kick off online with interactive brainstorming sessions to get to know each other, form well-matched teams, and identify promising topics. During this session, teams will choose and divide subjects to work on in the run-up to the BIP, so everyone starts the program with a clear focus and shared goals
  • During the BIP: Experience an intensive on-site week at Fontys Tilburg where you will explore how agentic AI can transform supply chains into smart, resilient systems that leverage the latest high-tech innovations, reduce time-to-market and costs, boost overall effectiveness, and foster entrepreneurship in small businesses
