Joris Laarman, a Dutch
designer, has collaborated with
an Amsterdam-based robotics
startup to 3D print a bridge
spanning an Amsterdam canal.
Laarman worked with MX3D
to print the 12-meter steel
bridge with the help of a team of
robots. MX3D expects to install
the bridge by October 2018.

Nissan Powers Arena
with Leaf Batteries
Nissan has used a battery-based
energy storage system from the
Leaf, its electric vehicle (EV)
model, to power the Johan
Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam. The
system can store up to three
megawatts of power - equivalent to 148 Leaf batteries - lessening dependence on the
energy grid. The system joins
the arena's 4,200 solar panels
and can serve as a backup in a
power outage. The Johan Cruijff
ArenA is one of the most sustainable stadiums in the world.

NETHERLANDS
EXPERIMENTING WITH
DIGITAL IDENTITY CARDS

In September, Codam
Coding College opened
offering persons aged 18
to 30 free coding lessons. Founded by
Corinne Vigreux, cofounder of TomTom,
Codam's curriculum
aims to prepare the
future workforce. "As a
tech entrepreneur, I am
acutely aware of the
shortage of good software engineers. We don't
just need more young
people with the right
skills; the right mindset,
drive and creativity are
also essential," explains
Vigreux. Visit Codam.nl.

This fall, the Dutch government will begin to
experiment with digital identity cards in Utrecht
and Eindhoven. Participants can identify themselves via an app on their smartphones that is
opened via biometric data. The app is activated via
fingerprint scanning or facial recognition, and
users can choose what information is displayed -
for example, a simple identification including a
name and birthdate, or a more extensive form of
identification such as a passport.

CES Unveiled Amsterdam
Nearly 80 companies from the Netherlands and surrounding region are displaying their technologies at the second annual CES Unveiled Amsterdam.
See what's in store for the future of technology, build partnerships and network with an expected 700 prominent European tech industry influencers
and media. Join us on Thursday, September 27, at the Beurs van Berlage in
Amsterdam and glimpse the innovation that will be at CES 2019.
