Fast-lane from idea to commercial product
The Dutch acknowledge the importance of innovation for sustained growth, and invest accordingly in our innovation infrastructure. The extensive network of fieldlabs in our region provides a real-life testing ground for new innovations, in which many corporates are committed partners. Our region is home to a number of world-renowned industry clusters and our 3 universities, all in the world top 100, are avid collaborators with industry. To further promote innovation, there are many subsidies and tax reductions available for R&D activities.
RoboHouse allows manufacturing companies to discover the possibilities of cognitive robotics, develop applications and test these applications in an industrial setting.
At SAM|XL, companies and research institutes collaborate in the field of automating and robotising the manufacture of lightweight structures such as composites.
RAMLAB helps companies that want to 3D print their own metal products find the right equipment and settings through joint projects and proof printing.
QuTech Shared Development programme is designed to facilitate collaboration in order to develop market applications for quantum technology.
DOC helps high-tech companies develop, demonstrate and validate optical and photonic measurement techniques (based on manipulating light) for applications in manufacturing processes.
RADD provides real-life conditions for experimentation with autonomous driving, for example on interaction with and acceptance by users and goods transport.
BlockLab puts blockchain technology into practice. Working with engineers, developers, and end-users, applications are built to enhance the global energy transition and optimize global supply chains.
