SME Academy Network Online Workshop - Robotics and 3D printing in SMEs - What can we do to survive?
1/24/2018
A very interesting and challenging topic - or actually several topics. How will the Age of New Technology have an impact on all Small Businesses in Europe? It is actually ALL - not only manufacturing industries, construction companies - but ALL small businesses will in one way or another recognize a new market and a changed demand from customers as the new technology enters into our businesses, daily life and homes. New competitors and new Business Models will also enter into the "radar" that all Entrepreneurs must keep ON - to manage their business and to survive. |
How can SME-supporting organizations provide inspiration, knowledge and development to Entrepreneurs?
This Workshop might not give all the answers to the question - but we will at least manage to discuss and share both concerns and ideas how to do it. As if Robotics and 3D printing wasn´t enough - we also have to deal with AI, AR, VR, MR and all other new technologies entering into our lives. |
