These solutions can provide more personalised offerings and convenience to users while offering companies new ways to expand their businesses. VanBerlo has a team of more than 90 professionals working from studios in Eindhoven and The Hague. They have deep experience in innovation and product strategy; product, software and user experience design; and prototyping, with a focus on sustainable solutions.

Your Job
The challenge we have for 2021 is very clear, Accenture will relocate its current Inspiration Center from the High Tech Campus to the VanBerlo Innovation Powerhouse. We will not only relocate but we will also reinvent the way we want to present ourselves to our clients, this means we will need to redesign all Industry X demo’s and combine it such that they also perfectly match the VanBerlo offerings and demonstrators. For this we need your help! We offer a full-time internship starting the beginning of 2021 until the summer for you to support this relocation and reimagination of the Center. You will be responsible to create a comprehensive business plan on how to design the new office, assess all demo’s and create innovative new ways on how to present and showcase the demo’s not on to our clients but also internally to the wider Accenture community.
As part of the relocation we also need your help to invent and design innovative new demo’s around several technologies. First, we want to create a new demo using drones to scan the internal office environment while scanning the surrounding and applying visual analytics to for example scan for corrosion and to make a predictive maintenance plan. We’re developing a new Robotics demo combining a digital twin of a factory floor and warehouse combining the physical and virtual world to showcase the factory of the future. We’re looking into new ways to make a smart office and utilize energy management tools to make it also a sustainable office. We’re also designing a brand-new VR room in which we want to showcase all augmented reality, virtual reality and extended reality technologies using the latest use cases and playable demo’s.
The final goal would be that we have the brand new Inspiration Center ready for a grand opening on July 1st 2021.
