Competition: Smart Collaboration & Innovation in a Changing Process Industry
The Dutch process industry is at a turning point. And this is exactly the moment we want to mark together with you.
As we celebrate NAP’s 65th anniversary, we are not only looking back, but above all looking ahead. What will a future-proof process industry look like? Which smart forms of collaboration will truly make a difference, and which prize-winning ideas deserve a place on the NAP Anniversary Congress stage?
That is why we are organizing an innovation competition for everyone who cares about the sector. Whether you work for a large industrial company, an SME, a knowledge institution, or are still a student: your idea can help shape the next step.
We can make the difference together
The sector is facing significant challenges. Grid congestion is slowing growth. Regulations are becoming more complex. Customers are demanding more. And sustainability is no longer optional, it is essential. At the same time, digitalization, new technologies and new ways of collaborating offer tremendous opportunities.
We are looking for ideas that look beyond the short term. This could be a concrete product, a service, an innovative collaboration model or a smart concept that connects organizations.
To give an example
- New ways of collaborating within the value chain
- Solutions that contribute to sustainability, digitalization or efficiency
- Initiatives that strengthen knowledge sharing between industry, education and technology
- Smart forms of co-creation or shared infrastructure
- Ideas that address current bottlenecks such as grid congestion or regulatory pressure
But please do not feel limited by these examples. We are particularly interested in fresh perspectives that challenge us and inspire new thinking.
