Israeli-Dutch Innovation Center

#4 Dutch Israeli Artificial Intelligence (AI) mini symposium 9 March 2021 (09 Mar)

Background

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the Dutch Key Emerging Technologies (KETs). NL invests heavily in KETs in general and, in particular, in AI. In this aspect, the Netherlands AI coalition (nlaic.com) was established in 2019 to bring parties together to share knowledge and create critical mass. In Israel, there is an ambition to repeat the country’s global success in cybersecurity in the AI domain. At the level of the Israeli government, a national AI agenda was formulated in 2019 awaiting the new government’s approval and funding. Israeli AI startups make up a large portion of its 6,000 startups and the venture capital industry invests heavily in AI startups. The Netherlands and Israel cooperate in the field of AI in various sectors, among others in the health sector, in the form of funded EU projects as well as other projects. This mini symposium aims at sharing knowledge as the basis to further fostering R&D cooperation in the AI field.

 

Target audience

The mini symposium is open to students, researchers, companies, investors, governmental policy makers and the general public interest in AI in general and in particular in the NL-IL context.
