Frans Boekema Internship supervisor: drs. Thomas Voncken 2 Preface With completion of the research project presented in this master thesis the master program "Economic Geography" at the Radboud University is coming to an end. Meanwhile, it is some time since I started writing this thesis. During the writing of this thesis, I have followed an internship at the SRE (Samenwerkingsverband Regio Eindhoven) for eight months. The role of public entities on cluster development had caught my interest, so I was very pleased that I was received by the SRE with open arms, where I was immersed among several tasks of the Economic Affairs department. This experience helped me to develop this interest into a subject for the thesis. Partly due to the freedom and in addition the guidance I was given at the SRE, I could focus on doing my research. Because of this internship, I was able to worK with a bulK of information on the spatial organization of innovation networks in the region Eindhoven.

    ROBOTICS Solutions for Support, Assistance and Collaboration Market overview and opportunities for Brabant Business Development CREDITS Research and Concept Dr. ir. Ruben Kolfschoten Ir. Marcel Grooten Copy Marcel te Lindert Photography Thomas van Oorschot Graphic Design Something New Editor BOM Communicatie Printer Drukkerij Romein Edition 500 copies Contact Details Dr. Ir. Ruben Kolfschoten T +31 (0)88 831 11 20 E [email protected] March 2015 2 ROBOTICS - Solutions for Support, Assistance and Collaboration FOREWORD Robots are set to change our world. Robotics will transform methods of mass production, transportation, agriculture and care provision. Robots will even change the way we keep ourselves entertained. Yet concerns have been raised in recent months about the threat posed by robotics, particularly with regard to employment opportunities for low and medium skilled workers.1 In this report the Brabant Development Agency (BOM) will demonstrate that the new generation of robots offers numerous opportunities for businesses and employees alike. The robots of the future will support our work, assist us and co-operate with us. They will take away some of the strain and enable us to concentrate on the tasks we have been trained for and in which we excel. The Netherlands, particularly in the area of research, makes a substantial contribution to the rapidly expanding robotics market. This expansion brings with it a need for companies to develop and implement new applications. As a high-tech province, Brabant is exceptionally well positioned to seize these opportunities. The required knowledge and creativity for these opportunities is available in abundance within Brabant. You will see some examples of this later in this publication.

Sinds eind 2012 maken wij deel uit van VDL Groep in Eindhoven en heeft de fabriek zich getransformeerd tot een onafhankelijke autofabrikant. De productiehallen en -lijnen zijn in de periode 2012 - 2014 vernieuwd en omgebouwd. Onze logistieke faciliteiten uitgebreid en gemoderniseerd. In juli 2014 is onze fabriek officieel heropend en is de productie van de MINI Hatch gestart. In 2015 kwam daar de MINI cabrio bij en in 2016 de MINI Countryman, waarvan wij ook de PHEV-variant produceren. Sinds 2017 wordt ook de BMW X1 bij VDL Nedcar gebouwd. Geschiedenis De geschiedenis van automobielfabriek VDL Nedcar start in de jaren '60 toen het Nederlandse DAF begon met het produceren van personenauto's in Born . Door deelname van Volvo Car Corporation werd DAF Car BV in 1975 Volvo Car BV. Er zijn in Born tot 2004 diverse Volvo-modellen geproduceerd. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation werd in 1992 mede-eigenaar waardoor de naam van het bedrijf veranderde in NedCar.
