The National Technology Strategy (NTS), drawn up by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, forms the basis for Dutch innovation policy and focuses on crucial technologies that determine our international competitive position. But how do we translate this strategy into concrete actions that actually help companies and sectors move forward?

On Wednesday 7 May 2025, Wederic will organise an NTS workshop in Eindhoven, in which experts and companies will map out the innovation needs and bottlenecks for five key technologies. These insights will form input for the action agendas that will be developed later.

1. Optical systems and integrated photonics
2. Imaging Technologies
3. Semiconductor Technologies
4. Mechatronics and opto-mechatronics
5. Quantum technologies

Why participate?

• Direct impact on the national and regional NTS technology agenda
• New business opportunities through cross-fertilization with other sectors
• Networking with leading companies and policy makers
• Deep insights into collaboration and innovation challenges

The workshop focuses on four application areas:

• Defense & Space – Innovations for strategic autonomy
• Medtech & Imaging – From AI-driven diagnostics to new hardware
• Semicon diversification – Creating synergy with other sectors
• Neuromorphic chips & intelligence – The future of smart hardware
• Data & telecommunications – The challenges around cyber, energy and scaling
