The Netherlands, as well as Europe, is facing urgent social issues, ranging from challenges in climate and energy to healthcare and safety. Technological innovations can address these issues. However, accelerating these innovations throughout the entire knowledge chain is necessary to keep the Netherlands and Europe economically strong, resilient and future-proof. 

Collaboration between researchers, policymakers, businesses, and civil society organisations plays a key role in this. At TEKNOWLOGY, they will come together to inspire each other, network, exchange ideas and spark new collaborations.

The full programme, including speakers, sessions, and special activities, will be announced soon.
