We work together with regional AI Hubs to help stimulate AI innovations within their respective regions. These hubs provide the connection to regional development agencies. By working together with the AI hubs, we can address the specific needs of different regions and accelerate the adoption of AI solutions locally.
Within the Netherlands, we are building on our strong partnerships with platform organizations, leading sectors, and government agencies. Key partners include VNO-NCW/NLoM and Digital Holland , as well as the Ministries of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Justice and Security, Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature, and Defense. These ministries serve not only as policymakers but also as clients and funders. They support us in creating policy frameworks and promoting AI applications that are both economically and socially responsible.
At a European level, we work closely with Adra, the AI, Data and Robotics Association, connecting us to the European ecosystem of AI and robotics innovation. The AI Forum provides us with a platform to participate in policy-making at the highest level, while EIT Digital supports us in promoting the adoption of AI solutions through education and entrepreneurship. We also work closely with the European Commission and other EU institutions to gain access to European programs such as Horizon Europe. These collaborations are essential for obtaining additional funding and helping to shape the European AI strategy.
