Digitization in the drinking water sector

This course provides an inspiring picture of various initiatives by Dutch drinking water companies and industry partners in the field of digitization. Almost everyone working in the water sector  is now familiar with terms such as Machine learning, Digital twin and Scrum and Agile working, but how do we apply these techniques and methods in concrete terms in the daily activities of a drinking water company?

And these discussion will help participants to answer and understand the questions, like: What about data security and cyber security?
