Products are delivered efficiently via smart logistics, minimizing traffic and combining small batches. Consumers own their data, fostering trust and encouraging integration with health and fitness apps. Entrepreneurs benefit from transparent commodity flows and risks, enabling sustainable business opportunities.
The program’s goal is to create the next-generation food system by linking local consumer needs with local, protected production environments. This enhances the appeal, resilience, and variety of urban food systems.
Through 4TU cooperation, expertise converges to develop holistic solutions tailored to each city. Collaboration with nine Dutch universities of applied sciences ensures the involvement of the next generation, while an advisory board helps align designs with practical feasibility.
Our contribution to the project
The Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS) plays a key role in the 4TU redesign project by contributing its expertise in data science and artificial intelligence. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, JADS supports the development of intelligent, data-driven prototypes that integrate machine learning, data frameworks, and real-time analytics. Furthermore, JADS facilitates the creation of minimal viable products (MVPs) in the form of data-driven mobile or web applications that leverage sophisticated AI models. These solutions are designed to address crucial societal challenges, delivering scalable, evidence-based outcomes through interdisciplinary research and applied data science methodologies.
