Dear ITEA Innovation Community,

Not only is the variety of usage of digital systems increasing but so is the complexity of digitalisation. Digitalisation grows in our lives just like time does in space;

moving in smaller spaces such as in nanocomponents or deeper in the human body
moving in larger spaces such as digital twins of production zones or billions of connected people in social media

Given these circumstances, it is not surprising that Artificial Intelligence is moving in our lives more, amplifying human intelligence to support innovation cycles.

Head of the entity International Collaboration and Strategy at VLAIO, Maarten Sileghem, explains the crucial nature of collaboration in encouraging, supporting and strengthening innovation and entrepreneurship in the region.

Innovation is a collaborative art
