NEXT AI EVENT: 10 September 2025

Dear AI Enthusiast,

Utrecht stands out as a hub of innovation and opportunity. Home to the largest Science Park in the Netherlands, the city recently celebrated 900 years of its rich history, boasts hundreds of promising startups, and features iconic landmarks like the beautifully restored Dom Tower. On top of that, Utrecht leads the way in sustainable mobility, with residents owning an average of 1.3 bicycles each, reflecting a city built for forward-thinking movement.

These facts only scratch the surface. Together, we can add new chapters to Utrecht’s story by unlocking the potential of AI right here. The possibilities for growth and innovation in this region are immense when we collaborate. I hope you will join us in making it happen.

UtrechtInc  invites you to Utrecht AI Drinks on Wednesday, September 10 from 4 PM. This event is a great opportunity to connect with academics, experts and founders working at the forefront of AI and AI-driven innovation.

Looking ahead, UtrechtInc will host Utrecht AI Drinks every two months. Mark your calendar for the upcoming sessions on November 5 and January 7.

We look forward to welcoming you.
