Automotive R&D Innovation Summit: Collaborate with the Dutch Gov't and EU

(IMPORTANT: RSVP here but also MUST REGISTER through the link http://bit.ly/370YtS6.)

This is a unique opportunity for OEMs, Tier 1s and startups in the SF Bay Area to meet, see, and learn about advanced tech in mobility, transport, and solar energy being developed in The Netherlands / EU: don't miss it!

The Automotive R&D Innovation Summit focuses on how Innovation is disrupting the transportation and mobility industries -- both in the way we experience it and the way we power it. The Dutch government and the European Union have special funding programs for this purpose; providing subsidies for up to 50% of the R&D from the Dutch Government. These can be combined with EU Horizon 2020 grants which can range into the multiple millions of euros; as a way of dramatically reducing the cost of R&D.

Highlighting examples of this will be Europe’s leading scientists, researchers and business leaders speaking about breakthrough research for disrupting legacy automotive cabins, powertrains, sensors, energy storage, lighting & much more. There will also be a demo floor exhibiting the newest TNO partner companies’ and startups technologies.

Silicon Valley Automotive Open Source Members will gain insights on rapidly evolving R&D at the intersection of real-world hardware applications; highlighting how the challenges facing scalable solutions are being solved while focusing on the following issues:

Structurally Integrated Electronics
In Seat Vital Sign Monitoring
Flexible & Semi Transparent OLED Displays for New Interfaces
Super High-Speed Battery Charging
Flexible Batteries Sensors & Transfer Cases
Geofencing Software
Super High-Density Energy Storage
Range & Power Solutions
Solar Powered Vehicles
Solar Thin Films PV CIGS & Perovskite

Alongside these technical talks will be the opportunity to learn how the Dutch government of the Netherlands is teaming up with multinationals to keep companies at the forefront of their industries through subsidized innovation R&D. This is great for both startups as well as enterprise players in the industry as it is virtually free R&D with no claims on the IP or debits to repay as it can be combined with other bi-national European grants as well. The Dutch and European officials will be on had to discuss these opportunities.

The event is free and will include lunch and a cocktail event in the evening. We look forward to welcoming you and other colleagues at your company on Dec 9th to the 2019 Automotive R&D Innovation Summit http://bit.ly/370YtS6 at the Fairmont Hotel San Jose.
