Soon big data will prolong life, artificial intelligence (AI) will have ubiquitous applications and quantum software will confound the known computing landscape. These bold innovations are being worked on by the scientists and forward-thinking organisations at Amsterdam Science Park.
Make an impact on the future by being part of the research and developments taking place at Amsterdam Science Park
When it comes to digital connectivity, Amsterdam Science Park is one of the world’s best locations. As the birthplace of the European internet, our 600 network hubs can facilitate reach to 80% of Europe within 50 milliseconds. Snellius is here too – the national supercomputer, operated by SURF, the collaborative organisation for ICT in Dutch education and research.
The Amsterdam Area is world renowned for AI and data science developments, and much of this innovation comes from the scientific institutes at our park – and their willingness to collaborate. As one example, the national Innovation Center for AI (ICAI) was launched here. This national initiative brings academia, industry and government together to develop AI technologies. Its projects often connect with our other fields of focus – such as life sciences, sustainability and high-tech materials. Our Startup Village also has a new extension dedicated to AI and data science, with an emphasis on blockchain technology.
Businesses, scientists and innovators from all over the world come here to break new ground in digital technologies. Successful startup Scyfer was taken over by the multinational Qualcomm, and the ABN AMRO bank has set up its digital division at Amsterdam Science Park. Other major players include Bosch, Ahold Delhaize, Tata Steel, Elsevier and the National Police.
Innovation in AI and data science encompasses a huge variety of interconnected themes. Our scientists, startups and companies are making headlines in these areas:
Our researchers are establishing the Netherlands as one of the top-ranked countries for AI innovation. The Center of Mathematics & Informatics (CWI), SURF, Netherlands eScience Center and the University of Amsterdam Informatics Institute explore the far-reaching potential of machine learning, AI applications and human-computer interaction.

There’s endless potential in quantum technology and the future capabilities of quantum computers for research and business, across all economic sectors. Amsterdam Science Park has the knowledge base and infrastructure needed to take great leaps in the field, and several organisations play an important role in its further development. Find out more
LAB42 also recently opened its doors; the new international hub for talent development in digital innovation and AI. Education, entrepreneurs and researchers work together on the technological challenges of the future. By bundling these three disciplines under one roof, we are building a community that is needed to exchange knowledge and bring innovations into practice. At the moment there are still a few workplaces for rent for tech companies among the tech talent.
“I've noticed that due to the demand for talent companies are visiting Amsterdam Science Park more often”
Amsterdam AI is a coalition aimed at developing responsible AI solutions, focusing on people-centered applications that are fair, safe, and trustworthy. The initiative involves collaboration between various sectors like business innovation, healthcare, and public services, all with the goal of enhancing life quality for Amsterdam’s residents. It involves research, education, and partnerships with universities and companies, making Amsterdam a leading hub for AI innovation.
