Main Tech Day 2025

This exclusive event offers a forum for deep technical exploration, tailored specifically to the needs and ambitions of our portfolio’s tech community. This year, we put the spotlight on one of the most transformative forces in our industry: Artificial Intelligence.

We were excited to welcome thought leaders from Microsoft, as well as expert voices from our own ecosystem, including Zig, HYPE Innovation, and Prostream by Pro4all, to share insights, spark discussions, and inspire action.

Some highlights of the event 💡

🔷 Think big, start now: GenAI use-cases that scale
Emile Verbunt, Cloud Solutions Architect at Microsoft mentioned in his keynote that practicing responsible AI isn’t optional, it’s essential: “We must ensure agents are not misused and that safety frameworks are in place to mitigate risks like adversarial attacks.”

🔷 Surviving the AI Wave: Moats, Speed, and Focus
Bart van Muijen, COO at our portfolio company Pro4all, shared lessons learned when discussing how to implement AI in your company’s organization. He mentioned that to truly unlock the potential of AI, organizations must allocate dedicated, skilled teams focused solely on shaping and executing an AI roadmap. This isn’t about sprinkling AI into daily operations, it’s about rethinking the business model itself.

🔷 From Hype to Value: Using Generative AI to solve real-world problems
Jessica Trias Eisenberg, Product Manager at HYPE Innovation, discussed that when using Generative AI you should “start from problems, not tech, since simplicity beats complexity.”

🔷 Housing made easy, supported with AI
At Zig, Marco Valk (Product Manager) and Raimond Stokkel (Solution Architect) shared how tapping into the full spectrum of property data supercharges AI-generated ads. The result? Precision-targeted campaigns. Faster rental timelines. Better tenant-property matches. It’s not just advertising, it’s data-driven matchmaking for real estate.
