Areas of expertise

This is our time to work on artificial intelligence. At TNO, we create real-world applications by combining our AI expertise with our in-depth knowledge of different domains.

This is our time to work on sustainable mobility. On clean vehicles, efficient mobility systems, and emission-free logistics. Discover the opportunities.

At TNO we’re innovating to build energy-neutral buildings with circular building materials, without compromising their safety, comfort, quality, and affordability.

This is our time to work towards a circular economy. To reduce the use of materials, but also to recycle, reuse, and redesign materials.

As the digital transition is making us increasingly dependent on digital infrastructures, we’re innovating in the field of communication and information technology.

This is our time to work on computer science. On smart IT technologies and on software that drives innovation forward.

Technology is evolving at lightning speed. What is secure today may no longer be so tomorrow. At TNO, we’re therefore working hard on innovations in cyber security.

In a world of ongoing digitisation, data quantities are constantly rising. But how can we properly harness this mountain of data to improve the quality of our lives? And how can we ensure privacy or make AI systems more reliable?

Security cannot be taken for granted. That’s why we’re putting our knowledge and technology to work to create innovations that will help ensure our continued peace and security.

This is our time to accelerate the energy transition. At TNO, we’re pulling out all the stops to ensure a zero-emission energy system in the Netherlands by 2050. In doing so, we’re helping companies lead the way in their sustainable innovations.

This is our time to work on healthy soil in the Netherlands. That’s why we’re working hard to make the subsurface more sustainable, harness the opportunities of geothermal energy, and abundantly research subsidence.

This is our time to work towards a healthy society. Our ambition at TNO is to improve the physical and mental health of our citizens. Find out what we do at TNO in the field of health or view our vacancies.

The technological developments of our time cannot be separated from the human component. That is why there is plenty of attention to the human sciences at TNO.

Now is the time to develop even faster and more energy-efficient chips. These are crucial if we are to meet the rapidly increasing demand for data and also find solutions to major societal challenges.

We’re fully engaged in supporting this emerging industry. We do this by designing, developing, and manufacturing quantum sensors, quantum devices, and entire systems.

The need for smaller, more efficient, and more powerful chips is growing by the day. That is why we’re innovating at full capacity to create the semiconductor of the future and drive the industry forward.

By harnessing the latest data and AI technologies, we can make the industry more efficient and sustainable. From digital factories to digital twins; the future of manufacturing is smart.

In our digital world, communication, navigation, and observer satellites play an essential role for daily life on Earth. This is our time to lift space technology to the highest level.

IT, marketers, analysts, finance and HR professionals are indispensable for good business management, because together they ensure efficient and effective operation of the company.
