Launch of NC-NL accelerates the future of brain-inspired technology

CogniGron is proud to be part of the recently launched Neuromorphic Computing NL (NC-NL) alliance, a national initiative that brings together research excellence, innovation, and ambition to shape the future of brain-inspired technology.

The Netherlands is exceptionally well positioned to lead in neuromorphic computing. The country combines a strong academic foundation with world-class expertise in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and materials research, alongside a rapidly growing ecosystem of pioneering companies and startups such as Axelera AI, Innatera, Hoursec, and IMChip. What is needed now is national coordination — and that is precisely what NC-NL delivers.

Neuromorphic Computing NL is building the foundations for a strong and connected Dutch ecosystem in neuromorphic computing. The coalition brings together leading Dutch organisations from the private sector, academia, research institutes, and government. Through a national Action Plan, these partners are joining forces to ensure that the Netherlands remains at the forefront of neuromorphic and deep-tech innovation — a digital key technology with the potential to radically change the future of computing.

CogniGron’s participation reflects its mission to connect fundamental research with real-world, demand-driven innovation. By contributing expertise in neuromorphic and brain-inspired computing, CogniGron helps translate scientific breakthroughs into scalable technologies with societal and economic impact.

Launched by Digital Holland together with key players from industry, knowledge institutions, and government agencies, Neuromorphic Computing NL marks an important milestone. Through collaboration, shared ambition, and long-term commitment, the initiative aims to secure the Netherlands’ leading role in neuromorphic computing — and to future-proof computing itself!
