Benelux Robotics Meetup

​Benelux Robotics Meetup

​The Benelux is well positioned for the next wave of robotics: high-tech manufacturing, dense logistics networks, world-class research, and rising pressure from labour shortages. The question is whether the region is ready to turn those ingredients into real momentum.

​To open that conversation, AISO and North Star are launching Benelux Robotics - a new initiative bringing together the robotics and AI community across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. We’re kicking it off with an evening meetup at TU/e on Monday, May 11.

​What to Expect

​→ A first look at the Benelux Robotics initiative

​→ Q&A with keynote and panel speakers

​→ Drinks, light bites, and networking with the community
