About Event

Join us for an evening with Michiel Bakker (Assistant Professor at MIT, Senior Research Scientist at DeepMind) as he presents his proposed national AI strategy for the Netherlands.

Michiel argues that the Netherlands is falling behind in the global AI race while countries like the US and China invest billions in talent, infrastructure, and sovereign AI capabilities. His "AI-Deltaplan" outlines ten concrete steps to secure Dutch technological independence—from building national AI models to attracting top talent and establishing strategic partnerships.

Format:

19:45: Walk-in⁠
20:00: Presentation by Michiel
Q&A with the audience
21:00: Official program ends
