Use Cases

Advanced Manufacturing Program

The Advanced Manufacturing Program (AMP) is a RegioDeal-funded initiative supported by the Province of Overijssel and the Dutch government to accelerate industrial innovation in Twente and Eastern Netherlands. Through the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform at the University of Twente, AMP develops collaborative manufacturing technology projects with industry partners, strengthening regional high-tech capabilities, knowledge sharing, and international visibility for the manufacturing sector.

The use cases below illustrate how AMP projects translate advanced manufacturing research into practical industrial solutions through close collaboration between academia and industry.
