The article focuses on the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda Digitalisation and what it means for developing the country’s understanding of digitalisation and the various innovations that this process requires.

Three quotes from the article:

‘For the period 2024-2027 the KIA provides a framework for future investment and innovation in digital technology,’ says Frits Grotenhuis, director of Top Sector ICT, which coordinates the KIA Digitalisation. ‘With this new KIA, we coordinate and direct research and innovation, we set priorities, we encourage public-private partnerships, and we strengthen the international competitiveness of the Netherlands.’

‘For researchers,’ Christiane Klöditz says, ‘this KIA offers new opportunities to work on interesting research issues that deal with fundamental questions on the one hand, but at the same time enable responsible applications. For companies, public-private partnerships are interesting because they have a front-row seat in world-class research and the opportunity to train new talent for their companies.’

Lotte de Bruijn, managing director of NLdigital, stresses the importance of closing the gap that exists in the Netherlands between theory and practice: ‘We do very well in scientific research, but not so well in its practical application. That is why it is so important that the KIA Digitalisation also considers from the outset what business has to gain from a particular line of research. This could be done, for example, by involving vocational education more.’
