Every second Friday of the month it is 2nd Friday. The VrijMiBo event for Dutch engineers.

A fixed recipe, with new people all the time. We are welcome in the beautiful building of the AI Innovation Center on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven.

To break the ice, we kick off the evening with a talk by tech or business owner. They will share their successes and blunders, their strategy and experience. So plenty of material to discuss during the networking drinks!

AI in practice

During this lecture, ir Albert van Breemen PhD will present insights on applying deep learning to various real-world systems in the field of agriculture and horticulture. VBTI has successfully applied deep learning technology to agricultural robots and harvest forecasting systems. This required the development of a dedicated platform to get deep learning operational. The platform is called 'AutoDL' and has automated many of the deep learning development lifecycle tasks. In 2022, VBTI won the prestigious Anton & Gerard award.
