RAI Automotive Industry NL

RAI Automotive Industry NL, formerly AutomotiveNL, is the cluster organisation of the Dutch automotive industry. From the Automotive Campus in Helmond it represents and connects some two hundred members from the automotive industry and the mobility sector, and the knowledge and education centres around them. It is part of the national ecosystem of the top sector High Tech Systems & Materials, where industry, education, science and government work together, and it puts Dutch companies on the international stage, for example with a Dutch pavilion at the IAA Mobility fair.

The industry's biggest challenges lie in smart and green mobility, and the societal challenges NEON addressed matched those in the sector's own Automotive Roadmap. Many of the cluster's members work in exactly that field.

That made AutomotiveNL one of NEON's five network partners. Its task was to spread NEON's results among automotive companies in the Netherlands and abroad, to feed NEON's insights into the direction of the top sector's Automotive Roadmap, and to open the door to collaboration with other cluster organisations, at home and in other countries. AutomotiveNL also took part in the work package on electric cars and trucks. In its own words, the cluster organisation strongly supports collaboration between partners on societal challenges, just like in NEON.
