Proactive use of AI is the only way that we – the Netherlands – can help determine how AI will be applied to social and economic challenges and how we can benefit from that. AI is a powerful tool that can help us retain and expand our international competitive position and resolve economic and social questions.

The Netherlands AI Coalition (NL AIC) was founded to achieve this and encourage Dutch AI activities. It is a public-private partnership in which governmental authorities, the commercial sector, educational and research institutions and social organizations work together to accelerate AI developments in the Netherlands and link AI initiatives in the country together.

With that joint goal in mind, the NL AIC and the 400-plus ventures participating in it work with several partners: AI hubs, Data Sharing Coalition and Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI).
