Noord-Brabant hosts the AI-hub Brainport, a collaboration between BOM (Brabant Development Agency), Brainport Development, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, High Tech Campus Eindhoven, Jheronimus Academy of Data Science, Tilburg University, TNO, and TU/e (EAISI institute). The hub connects companies, education institutions, and public organisations across the province to develop and apply AI in high-tech manufacturing, medical technology, and smart mobility.
The AI-hub Brainport encompasses the ecosystem around Eindhoven, Helmond, Den Bosch, Tilburg, and Breda. It is part of the Dutch national AI hub network coordinated by the Nederlandse AI Coalitie (NLAIC).
Who it affects: Enterprises, startups, and educational institutions across Noord-Brabant seeking AI adoption support and collaboration.
What is notably missing: No provincial AI education mandate or workforce training obligation. All education policy operates at the national level.
