Working with TNO Vector

Influencing the innovation capacity of sectors, strengthening the earning power of the Netherlands, increasing the strategic autonomy of key value chains, analysing the societal effects of innovations such as AI - these are complex challenges to tackle. This can only be done with partners.

Medewerkers van TNO Vector

That is why we support governments, businesses and other decision-makers in understanding and shaping transition processes. We analyse technological, economic and societal developments that influence the desired impact and continuously identify the choices to be made or actions to be taken.

At the same time, we know that insights alone are not enough. Promising technologies and sectors do not automatically scale up. They often encounter barriers in policy, regulation, market design, value chain collaboration, business models or access to investment. That is why TNO Vector also works on the enabling conditions required to bring innovation into practice.

Our approach

Partners and clients choose to work with us when they want a better understanding of the complex challenge they face and are looking for actionable perspectives for their own organisation, the coalition or the value chain they are part of. Our knowledge and expertise focuses on multidisciplinary insights and practical application, and we are keen to deploy this for others. We do this in many ways. Curious about how we can work together?

Projects on commission

If there is something you would like to have researched for your company, public-sector organisation or foundation, you can commission a research project. We will make agreements with you about the work, the cost, and the exclusivity of the results.

Public-private partnerships

Companies, public-sector and social organisations can also work with us in public-private partnerships. The advantage is that costs can be shared among stakeholders, while creating richer insights and learning from one another. Interested in the possibilities?
