General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Defence and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, is excited to launch our latest Blue Magic conference – Blue Magic Netherlands – on the 19th of November near Brainport Eindhoven, the center of the Dutch high-technology manufacturing industry. The event will take place at the iconic MELT at Avular building, a world-class venue for technology interchange.

Blue Magic Netherlands aims to foster technology ideation and implementation within the Dutch industrial ecosystem like never before. We will be inviting innovative Dutch tech and aerospace companies, big and small, to apply for a chance to pitch transformative solutions that could advance the course of commercial and defence technologies.

Along with our partners Brainport Development Eindhoven, Lockheed Martin Ventures, and Brabant Development Agency, we will be accepting pitches on a broad range of emerging technologies, including but not limited to artificial intelligence/machine learning, autonomy, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, sensors, and space. Participating in this transformational event presents an ideal opportunity to connect with funding and collaborate with industry leaders. Companies and professionals wishing to only join the audience and network are welcome to reserve a seat as well.

GA-ASI is a proud supporter of the Dutch Ministry of Defence and aerospace industry. Today, we are working closely with the Royal Netherlands Air Force to deliver a total of eight MQ-9 remotely piloted aircraft and enhanced capabilities such as maritime radars, communications relays, electronic support measures, and more.
