SMEs are the engine of the economy, including the Limburg economy. And like all engines, it must be kept well lubricated. Digitalization is such a lubricant. Not lubricating on time? Then the engine starts to falter and you eventually get stuck.
You have a specific problem and you know you can solve it by digitizing - in whatever way you can. Or you don't have a problem, but still have that nagging feeling that something could be better. An efficiency improvement, a better approach to your customer or a less error-prone process. Something that will improve your business results.
You want to get to work on this, but are not sure where to start. And to go straight to a commercial party makes you hesitant. You first want to have a clear idea of what your problem is. That is why you contact us at this stage.
We offer you our free and non-committal support during the entire preliminary phase. This is possible because the Digital SME Workshop is supported by the Province of Limburg, LIOF, MKB-Limburg, the Municipality of Heerlen, Economic Cooperation South Limburg and the Brightlands Smart Services Campus. We all have one common goal: to digitally strengthen your organization.
We make this stronger by making available
Explore how to digitize through our course. Request a no-obligation 45-minute intake interview and get afterwards:
A sharp problem statement
An overview of improvement options
Access to the right professionals
Getting your cyber security in order?
Arm yourself against external digital threats and join the cyber security program at no cost.
We support you throughout the entire preliminary process. That means: up to step 5 as described below.
The 6 steps of the digitalization process
- Intake interview
- Workshops with experts
- Offers for implementation
- Investigation of subsidy possibilities
- Getting started! The solution is developed/implemented
The duration of this process depends on your issue. At step six, we engage the right professionals from our network for you. You will then receive an offer from them. This also means that the implementation of the solution does involve costs, unlike the rest of the process.
The big advantage for you as an entrepreneur is that the entire preliminary phase is not only free of charge, but also non-committal and in-depth. This way you will be well prepared as soon as you take the step to implementation.
