Chain Formation: The Key to Accelerating Industrial Transformation
TNO is exploring new forms of chain collaboration to see to what extent it helps shape and accelerate industrial transformation.


I am Willem Manders, innovation orchestrator at TNO Vector. As an Industrial Engineering I am involved in industrial transformation with a focus on setting up and scaling up new industrial value chains that contribute to the broad prosperity of the Netherlands in the future.
I do this together with all relevant stakeholders from government, business, start-ups & scale-ups, the financial world and knowledge institutions. In addition to defining a joint ambition and action plan, I also work with the stakeholders on organizing the necessary financing, governance / decision-making and the concrete business model.
