Datasets

You’ll be given access to real datasets of the Dutch Police, Gemeente Heerlen, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK), Accenture and the CBS. Check this out to find the datasets we’ve prepared for this weekend. Combine these datasets with (open) data you find. If you need specific data for your solution please contact us: iwantmoredata@brighthack.eu
 

Brightlands Smart Services Campus

The event will be held at the Brightland Smart Services Campus. This place - located in the middle of the quiet Dutch hills in province Zuid-Limburg – is the perfect hackathon spot. Brainstorm on your craziest ideas while enjoying the beautiful view and the decent facilities from the campus. Next to an indoor camping there are showers, chill-rooms, and more than enough games from partners to make it an unforgettable experience.
With the location of this event in Heerlen, we would like to specially invitation German and Belgium companies to participate!

Innovative partners in Dutch Textile branche are searched for by a German Textile Institute for co operation research

The Institut fĂ¼r Textiltechnik at RWTH (one of the biggest and renowned textile research facilities worldwide) is coordinating a proposal for the DT-FOF-05-2019 (Open Innovation for collaborative production engineering, IA) call: DT-FOF-05-2019 (Open Innovation for collaborative production engineering, IA), call deadline 21.02.2019

The project aims to accelerate innovation cycles in the production of consumer-specific functional clothing. The innovation core to the proposal is to reduce lead times in the production of functional textiles by including the consumer in the definition of fit, function and design and by developing a modular setup of textiles. Therefore, a digital twin of the textile, which is prone to meet the consumer’s needs, is developed. This will allow increasing the sample adoption rate.

In the existing consortium there are partners from Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, covering textile engineering, design engineering, construction/modelling, open innovation. The core consortium is looking for further partners.
There are negotiations running with several companies from the machinery and processing and fabrication industry but we still lack the fashion brands & designer contribution. Maybe you can help us with your fashion contacts?

What are we looking for:

  • fashion brands: wide product range, clothing sector, expertise in the design of product ranges;
  • software manufacturers who are able to create digital images/twins: use of avatars (image of a human being)
  • fashion designers: expertise in customizing products through features / design;
  • prefabricators of textiles / companies in the “cut-and-sew” industry: expertise in the processing of textiles into finished product (for example by sewing)
Do you as a company or institute have interest in participating in this consortium, please respond to me or my colleage at Zenit - Zentrum fĂ¼r Innovation und Technik in NRW GmbH.

Look forward to your ideas! We will assist in getting you connected and supported for the project.
