Open Calls at Flanders Make

Flanders Make wants to support the Flemish manufacturing industry to be more competitive internationally. Today, tomorrow and in the long term. This is how they keep companies in Flanders and attract foreign companies.

They support SMEs and large manufacturing companies with industry-driven, precompetitive and outstanding research in two application domains:

Products: vehicles and machines
Production: assembly

THE RESULT OF THAT SUPPORT?
Concrete product and manufacturing innovations in the vehicle industry, in mechanical engineering and in production environments. By contributing to the technological developments of the vehicles, machines and factories of the future, they create added value for the manufacturing industry.

In the networks of companies, knowledge institutions and governments that we set up for this purpose, we anticipate and formulate solutions to the challenges and opportunities ahead. The knowledge gained is shared in order to strengthen everyone’s competencies within a dynamic, collaborative ecosystem.

Flanders Make is also strongly committed to international innovation cooperation and participates in numerous European research projects.
