Working at TNO
Since 1932, TNO has been successfully conducting applied research to increase the prosperity and well-being of the Netherlands. How have we achieved this? By empowering people to do their work, by giving them the space to develop and unleash their talents.

We innovate together
TNO is a place where everyone feels at home, supported by colleagues who help one another. It's a place where innovation thrives, where we push boundaries to make technological developments practically applicable. At TNO, we collaborate, support each other, and actively seek connection—not only with colleagues, but also with the outside world.
Because only in this way can we make a mark on our time and truly serve as an innovation engine for the Netherlands.
