On 11 November 2025, the Dutch Precision Week will host the Dutch International Precision Conference. In this conference you will meet the Dutch way of system architecting, system engineering, designing and realisation of high complexity systems. Renowed speakers from the high tech ecosystem will give you insight, speakers from amongst others Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) (ASML, Trumpf, Nikhef) High Tech suppliers (VDL, Mitutoyo) and institutes (TNO, Technical Universtity, Eindhoven).

The theme is 'Collaboratieve innovatie in de Brainportregio' and

“Dutch collaborative Innovation in the Hightech” refers to a model of 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. The Netherlands is known for fostering a strong innovation ecosystem, particularly in sectors like semiconductor technology, high-tech manufacturing, intelligent agriculture and clean energy.

Dutch culture is a unique blend of pragmatism, collaboration, and innovation, with a deep emphasis on sustainability, open communication, and interdisciplinary approaches. The typical Dutch approach is based on Dutch culture that encourages curiosity, creativity, and a highly efficient work ethic and last but not least open innovation, which translates well into the high-tech industry.

For whom

The conference is for international and national managers and professionals in the precision technology and high-tech industries.
