Digitalisation enables entrepreneurs to work faster and smarter, thereby increasing labour productivity and enhancing earning potential in our region. Furthermore, we are living in a period of growing geopolitical tensions and shifting political landscapes. This makes it crucial to build greater digital autonomy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Holland is the largest \u2018AI province\u2019 in the Netherlands: 32% of all AI companies are based in this region.* This makes North Holland a key hub for innovation, research and start-ups. We see opportunities here for even further growth in the field of digitalisation. That is why we are looking for game-changers who develop innovative applications that strengthen digital autonomy, increase labour productivity and\/or boost the region\u2019s earning potential.

This is certainly true for quantum computing, which requires significant investment and for which the funding landscape is (not yet) geared. We support entrepreneurs in North Holland in becoming fundable, and we ourselves invest in that early stage where possible. In doing so, we focus on innovative digital solutions that are scalable and help other companies work more efficiently. We therefore consciously choose not to focus on consumer applications, but on technology that has a leveraged effect within the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>We do this within three domains:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial intelligence (AI)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet of Things<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantum computing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We support businesses through\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/en\/to-innovate\/\">Innovate<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/en\/invest\/\">Invest<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and build on\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/en\/vital-ecosystem\/\">ecosystems<\/a><\/strong>.<i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h4><b>Stronger together<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to one-on-one guidance, ROM InWest actively positions itself within the innovation ecosystem through events, collaborations, and coalitions. For example, we co-established the Coalition of the Cloud, which aims to reduce dependence on Big Tech and strengthen European digital autonomy. We are also involved in GPT-NL, which offers an alternative to existing AI bots that are part of Big Tech and only uses qualitative, Dutch data. Furthermore, we contribute substantively to international platforms such as World Summit AI and Hello Tomorrow. By connecting the various regional networks \u2013 from startups and companies to knowledge and research institutions \u2013 we stimulate the development of solutions that not only have an impact in North Holland but also contribute to the digital resilience of the Netherlands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10415\" src=\"https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1.png 1680w, https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1-1024x439.png 1024w, https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1-768x329.png 768w, https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1-1536x658.png 1536w, https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/rominwest.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/studio_duel_create_a_photo_realistic_image_of_a_worker_checki_cd30412d-0235-4fca-9e52-7dfcb931d1b8_1-600x257.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b>Accelerator programmes for entrepreneurs<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have growth ambitions with your digital innovation?
