Whitepaper on the impact of the digitalisation of the manufacturing sector in the Netherlands with a special focus on SMEs.

Besides that the industrial digitalization in the Netherlands is above the EU average. But countries such as Sweden and Ireland are leading in the EU when it comes to digitalization of manufacturing.
