Together we can make an impact

We have an ambitious vision for the future of AI — a future that belongs to all of us 🧡. Through our partnerships we discover possibilities and set goals. We connect the dots, pool resources, and join forces to turn ideas into reality.

Collaboration has been at the heart of what we do since the beginning, when four Dutch corporate giants — Ahold Delhaize, ING, KLM and NS — came together to (literally) kickstart AI in the Netherlands. Now we've grown bigger, more independent, and we're reaching further. Whether we’re bridging the gap between business and academia, sparking synergy across diverse industries, or breaking down silos to unite niche data science communities, our mission is the same: to accelerate AI adoption in the Netherlands and share the benefits with everyone 🚀.

We’re always on the lookout for new allies to join forces with!
