From the urgency of physical AI and cognitive robotics to the strategic importance of the future of compute and defence innovation: the plenary programme set a clear direction. The innovation market showcased the SMEs that push the boundaries of innovation, and the various breakout sessions showed that the Netherlands has both the ecosystem and the ambition to lead. The action is in our own hands, and the high-tech community is ready to move.
