Theme: Collaborative Innovation: Applying high tech metrology in different domains
Collaborative Innovation refers to collaboration in the Netherlands where businesses, research institutions, and government entities work together in a transparent, open manner to drive innovation, particularly in high-tech industries. This years theme is High Tech Metrology. High Tech Metrology opens opportunities for applications in different domains.
In this conference you will meet the Dutch way of system architecting, system engineering, designing and realisation of high complexity systems. Renowed speakers from front-end and back-end semicon, space and high tech infrastructure will present their collaborative innovative projects. Majority of regional managers in the high tech are present at the International conference.
It will be an amazing experience with interesting speakers, networking, inspiration, creation of ideas and collaboration opportunities.

Pitches exhibitors
Our exclusive exhibitors will give a very short presentation to attract the audience to visit their booth during breaks for further discussion.
Kees Buijsrogge: Director Space. Connecting Science & Industry at TNO (Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research)
Title: Optical satellite communication, optical Earth observation, optical instruments for ground astronomy, LISA: detection of gravitational waves in space.
TNO is an independent not-for-profit research organisation. Main sectors are Energy and Transition, High Tech Systems & Industry, ICT, Data & AI, Defense, Mobility & Logistics, Built Environment, Healthy Living, Circular Economy
Gabby Kroes: Senior opto-mechanical system engineer SRON (Dutch Institute for Space Research)
SRON, Dutch national institute for space research focussing on astrophysics, earth observation, and exoplanetary research . LISA will be a large-scale space mission designed to detect gravitational waves.
With LISA we will be able to observe the entire universe directly with gravitational waves, learning about the formation of structure and galaxies, stellar evolution, the early universe, and the structure and nature of spacetime itself. It is an opto-mechatronics challenge.
Forumdiscussion International Collaboration
Dutch technological business development managers will discuss together and with the audience about international technology collaboration.
Marco de Baar, Vice Director at NWO Institute Differ
Ronald Schneider, Managing Director at MI-Partners BV
Gerard van den Eijkel, Vice President QED Technologies Europe
Yusuke Teramoto: leader Ushio Germany
Title: Title: International collaboration in EUV light source applications
Martin van den Brink (ASML, emeritus CTO)
40 years long, Martin has driven the enormous technology innovations at ASML. He started at ASML when ASML was only a few people. Today it is 40.000+. Martin will explain how the journey was and which new points at the horizon are appearing. We welcome you to ask mr. ASML about semicon.
Grand finale with Erik Puik: Systems Engineering. Author of Beyond the V-Model.
Discussion with Erik Puik, Bas Kappen and the audience about the crucial role of systems engineering in high tech systems development by Hans and Julie.
