Rotterdam market

Rotterdam is home to Europe's largest port and a world-leading cluster of logistics, maritime, and supply chain technology. Port of Rotterdam Authority is actively building smart port infrastructure, and dozens of companies in its ecosystem build software for container tracking, vessel management, customs compliance, and intermodal freight. Beyond port tech, Rotterdam has significant industrial and sustainability tech investment — the city is actively decarbonising its petrochemical complex, driving demand for emissions monitoring, energy management, and process optimisation software.

Common questions

AI Development in Rotterdam — FAQ

Do you build custom AI models or use existing APIs?: Both. We use OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source models when they fit. We build custom models when off-the-shelf won't cut it. The right approach depends on your data, latency requirements, and budget.
How long does an AI development project take?: AI projects typically take 8–16 weeks. We start with a feasibility assessment and prototype using your actual data before committing to a full build.
Can you integrate AI into our existing product?: Yes. Most of our AI work involves adding AI features to existing products, not building AI products from scratch. We integrate LLMs, recommendation systems, and custom models into your current stack.
What happens if the AI model doesn't perform well enough?: We build evaluation pipelines from the start so you know exactly how the model performs. If accuracy isn't sufficient, we iterate — different models, more data, fine-tuning — before going to production.
