Together, we design the future

Our mission

Our mission is clear: to share knowledge, develop talent, and make projects possible with robotics, AI, and related technology. In this way, we will build a strong and sustainable economy together, ensuring our region remains internationally relevant.

Organisations remain future-proof by continuing to develop and innovate!

How do we do that?

At B’ROBOTICS we connect entrepreneurs, developers, researchers and policymakers. Together we are working on solutions with social and economic impact. We help organisations with Develop, test and apply robotics and Industry 4.0 technology and create space for collaboration. As a hybrid learning environment and centre of expertise, we support technical talent and help organisations implement robotics in practice. In this way, we strengthen the robotics cluster in Brabant and contribute to a sustainable and future-proof economy.

The creation of Breda Robotics

How it began

B’ROBOTICS began as a collaborative initiative between robotics companies in West-Brabant, with the aim of creating a hub for innovation and technology. The idea was conceived in 2018 during a roundtable discussion within the REWIN High-Tech Maintenance programme. The foundation was established in 2019 by six ‘founding fathers’: ExRobotics, WWA, Synchron, Avans, the Municipality of Breda and REWIN. 

The aim was to create a place where education, SMEs, and organisations collaborate on the development of robotics and new technology for industry and society.

Since then, B’ROBOTICS has grown into a major player in the region in the field of robotics and automation. We stimulate innovation, connect talent to the robotics cluster and contribute to a sustainable economy. It is a place where businesses and students experiment together and develop new applications.

We do this

We connect students, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals daily, promoting the use of robotics and automation. We do this as a hybrid learning environment, an experience and expertise centre, and an ecosystem for collaboration.
