Talent and the mesh
The technical university ships mechatronics, systems and control engineers into a region already employing thousands of them — and the Brainport supplier mesh (precision machining, electronics, optics, integration) prototypes at a speed shipping-from-abroad teams simply experience as the future: the same chain, chip edition. International seniors join on the kennismigrant route: the hiring page.
Customers and compliance
Pilot customers stand next door: logistics giants, greenhouse horticulture, manufacturing lines — industries that buy robots with budgets rather than curiosity. The regulatory file travels with the product: CE marking under the machinery rules, and the importer duties where you build abroad first: the CE-and-import chapter.
The hardware company’s structure
The stack: WBSO on the engineering hours (the credit), the innovation box on the shipped technology (the 9%), and the standard skeleton with one hardware-specific habit — inventory, warranty and product-liability risk live in the operating BV while IP and value pool above: the structure. Financing ladders from grants to growth equity: the map.
