With its world-class port, strong industrial base, and real demand for smarter solutions in high-risk and routine work, Rotterdam is the ideal environment to put robotics to the test. Not just technically, but responsibly, in a way that works for people. That’s where @Robodam comes in: bringing together innovators, policymakers, businesses, entrepreneurs, and citizens to shape the future of robotics in our region. 

Driven by data and AI, robotics could help with some of our biggest societal challenges – from an aging workforce and unsafe working conditions to growing pressure on the people who keep our infrastructure running. But for this potential to be realized in a way that lasts, development must align with European values, put human impact first, and protect our digital sovereignty. Robodam strives for robots that are not only technically advanced, but understandable and trustworthy.
