MKB Data Studio

Making data, digitization, and AI applicable for entrepreneurs.

Introduction

The MKB Data Studio is an initiative that supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with digitisation and the optimisation of their data. In this programme, which involves students from both the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), we work together on concrete solutions for real business questions. We bridge the gap between academic expertise and practical applications that are accessible, result-oriented and fully tailored to your company.

You wish to tackle your business challenges with AI-driven solutions but require assistance to do so.

The Data Acceleration Project offers a practical and accessible way to set digitisation in motion within your organisation. Together with a talented student from TU Delft or Erasmus University Rotterdam, you work on a concrete digitisation challenge within your company.

Over a period of 8 to 10 weeks (8 hours per week), the student delves into your issue and applies their knowledge of Data and AI to take steps with you towards a fitting solution. This collaboration takes place outside the regular curriculum and is fully tailored to the context and needs of your organisation.

Consequently, the assignment is fully aligned with the challenges within your organisation. This can vary from exploring the possibilities of AI and machine learning to support in the development of custom solutions such as pattern recognition, chatbots, or applying AI tools in existing processes.

With a Data Acceleration Project, you create the space to experiment, learn, and make concrete progress in your digital transformation.

Discover, together with other entrepreneurs, how you could practically apply AI within your company, under the guidance of experienced professionals.

Workshops are structured to help you understand, in an accessible manner, what artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data maturity can mean for your organisation.

In these sessions, you explore how AI can be practically applied to improve processes, seize opportunities, and accelerate digitisation within your company. You gain insight into concepts that often remain vague and learn how to translate them into concrete practical applications.

Focus is placed on the use of accessible tools, practical examples, and reflection on the digital maturity of your organisation. Topics such as ethics, privacy, and legislation and regulations are also covered. The workshop offers usable insights and concrete practical guidance to apply AI within your organisation in a targeted way.

Get the most out of your technology with personal support from an expert researcher.

Technology needs to work for businesses, but sometimes specialised help is required to achieve this. For example, when addressing complex digitisation challenges and incorporating them into a clear roadmap. For these intricate issues, scientists can offer support via a Science Consult.

This involves personal support from a researcher focused on maximising the potential of your enterprise in the field of digitisation. During this one-on-one session, you, as an entrepreneur, get the chance to discuss your specific challenges and develop practical solutions and new insights together with the expert. This tailored approach is fully aligned with your needs and focuses on accelerating digital transformation and innovation within your company.

Discover together with other entrepreneurs how to get a grip on shared digital challenges, with the help of scientific expertise.

Digital issues are often complex and affect multiple companies in similar ways. In a Masterclass, entrepreneurs come together around a single shared theme. In this setting, a researcher shares insights from their own scientific research and applies them directly to the participants’ practice.

The group thus gains access to in-depth knowledge and current findings, linked to their joint challenge. Through the combination of substantive expertise and mutual exchange, new perspectives, concrete ideas, and guiding solutions emerge. This approach helps entrepreneurs to take joint steps in their digital transformation.
