about DEL20
The DEL20 community is an ecosystem that makes digital transformation concrete.
"The main idea of the DEL20 ecosystem is to allow businesses to experiment with new technologies like AI, robotics, IoT and more, without having to worry about competition, budgets, or risk of failure,” explains Thierry Bruyneel, partner at delaware and event creator. “Clients can propose a project and we offer them a framework – along with free consulting days for the winner – to help realize their ambitions. Meanwhile, the goal is to share insights and findings with the entire DEL20 community.” Dive deeper into what makes DEL20 special here.
