New Partners of Innovation welcomed to Fontys ICT InnovationLab

Fontys School of ICT welcomed no less than three Partners in Innovation and new SPARC members on March 12, 2021. During a festive online toast the Municipality of Eindhoven, the Bierens Group and the Ministry of Defense signed up for membership of our partner network.We are proud to welcome them, which increases the diversity within our group of Partners in Innovation. During the digital moment also representatives from i-Partnership Rijk-Her Hoger Onderwijs joined us, which SPARC holds dear.

All three will thus contribute as co-creators within the Fontys ICT InnovationLab to the development of knowledge in the ICT domain within the region (and beyond). The broadening of the cooperation increases the strength of SPARC as an accelerator of practice-based research and knowledge generation. We therefore look forward to the results that this will produce in the near future.

The first projects that we will be doing together with these new Partners in Innovation are already in the starting blocks or have already started. The Bierens Group have started working with FHICT students on an ICT & Media related project. The municipality of Eindhoven has placed a big data issue with students where ICT & Business students will work on.

We wish all new members a warm welcome. As a cooperative, we are always open to new members with an interest in innovation that makes a positive contribution to our society.
