Groningen, 11 December 2024 - Demcon industrial systems welcomed a diverse group of about 50 master's students from the University of Groningen (RUG). This is where the semi-annual matchmaking event took place, the last one for 2024.
The turnout of students was remarkably big. The majority of this group consisted of students from the master Mechanical Engineering, supplemented by students from the masters Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Engineering & Management, Physics and Energy and Environment.
The Innovation Cluster Drachten (ICD) had again organized a matchmaking with several ICD companies for this purpose. Represented this session were Philips, Batenburg Beenen, Exosens, FMI ImProvia, Stork, Variass and Demcon. This gave a varied insight into the diversity of companies involved in the cluster.
At the end of the pitches, Dr. Nick Szirbik and Dr. Sushant Kumar Pandey explained the Autonomous Systems EngD program.
The matchmaking event is a result of the ICD’s ongoing commitment to connecting academic knowledge with the practical needs of industry. By bringing students and companies together, the ICD creates valuable opportunities for innovation and practical experience. This is essential for the development of future engineers and the industry as a whole.
