About this event

What to expect

On September 25, 2026, AI in de Stad offers hands-on excursions across the Netherlands and Flanders, taking participants directly to innovative AI-in-the-City projects where artificial intelligence is transforming urban environments. This field trip day provides a unique opportunity to witness Dutch and Belgian urban AI applications in action, moving beyond theory to see real-world implementations of smart city technologies.

What to Expect

The excursions will visit multiple locations in Breda and surrounding regions, showcasing diverse AI applications in urban settings. Participants will explore projects ranging from smart lighting systems that adapt to real-time conditions, to sophisticated data-driven urban planning initiatives that use AI to optimise city development and resource allocation. Each site visit offers direct insights into how Dutch municipalities and organisations are deploying AI technologies to address urban challenges.

Learning from Practice

These excursions emphasise practical learning, allowing attendees to engage with project teams and see operational AI systems first-hand. You'll discover how cities are implementing AI solutions for traffic management, public safety, environmental monitoring, and citizen services. The day provides invaluable context for understanding the technical, ethical, and governance considerations involved in deploying AI at city scale.

Who Should Attend

This experience is ideal for urban planners, city officials, technologists, researchers, and anyone interested in smart city development. Whether you're considering AI implementation in your own municipality or seeking to understand the current state of urban AI applications, these field visits offer concrete examples and lessons learned from pioneering projects.

Part of AI in the City 2026

The excursions form part of the larger AI in the City 2026 conference organised by ELBA-REC, which includes international meetups and a congress focused on artificial intelligence in urban contexts. The September 25 excursions provide the practical complement to the conference's theoretical discussions.

If you know of interesting AI projects that could be featured during these excursions, contact Jan-Willem Wesselink (j.wesselink@elba-rec.nl) or Matthias ten Brinke (m.tenbrinke@elba-rec.nl).
