Communication activities
-Infrastructure: The city boasts great infrastructure for enabling AI innovation. This includes technical infrastructure (e.g. high performance computing and Internet capabilities at SURFsara and Amsterdam Internet Exchange, access to European computing nodes), institutional infrastructure (e.g. CWI, eSciencecenter, UvA, VU and HvA), and network infrastructure (e.g. AmsterdamDataScience and
Amsterdam Medical Data Science).
-Value creation support: The city’s two universities have strong academic expertise regarding the
judicial, ethical and social aspects of AI, and active networks and institutions to guide innovation and
facilitate societal value creation. We have a range of related services and offerings, including academic
technology assessments, platforms such as TADA – open about data, the development of new and
improved regulations, and arenas that support public-private experimentation, such as Amsterdam Smart
City.
-Public-private partnerships: There is an ever-increasing number of long-lasting, high-impact
collaborations between academia and different organisations, with many of them involving the Innovation Centre for Artificial Intelligence. Examples include providing support for police investigations, the AIM lab for medical imaging, AI for Retail (AIR) with Ahold-Delhaize, labs with Bosch and Qualcomm
focused on computer vision and machine learning, Elsevier’s innovations in publishing and TomTom’s
creation of high-quality maps.
-National and international collaboration: Amsterdam is home to the NWO's ‘Zwaartekracht’
programme on hybrid intelligence (HI), a large, nationally-funded academic research project. Amsterdam
is also home to the international network TNW (which reaches over 10 million techies worldwide) and
World Summit AI. The region has an ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems)
unit and participates in CLAIRE (Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe).
-Business: Amsterdam has a vibrant startup and scale-up scene, with academic incubators such as ACE, and CWI Inc, as well as private ones such as TQ, all backed by a healthy investor climate. It has a thriving private sector of companies reliant on data and AI, including Booking.com, Adyen and Tiqets (the latter two were founded in Amsterdam) as well as a data-intensive and agile financial sector that includes ING and ABN AMRO, in addition to multinational companies such as Philips, IBM and Databricks.Other activities
