NORTH-BRABANT
REGION
The Dutch province of Brabant is located in the southern part of the Netherlands, strategically situated between Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Europe’s leading seaport in Rotterdam and the major German economic heartland of the Rhine-Ruhr region. Brabant’s central location provides for a perfect springboard into the European market.
The region is truly a success story with many bright innovations and companies. We have a rapidly growing and world-leading production and knowledge economy and the region has grown more vigorously than any other province in the Netherlands. Brabant has evolved into a hotbed of innovative ecosystems in High Tech, Life Sciences and Health, Agrifood and Data Science. It is the #1 region in R&D spending and more than 50% of all European patent applications are generated here.
"To further develop and implement a key enabling technology such as AI, it is vital for Brabant to pursue and profit from international cooperation with comparable knowledge regions that deploy AI".
ORGANISATION
To further develop and implement a key enabling technology such as AI, it is vital for Brabant to pursue and profit from international cooperation with comparable knowledge regions that deploy AI.
