National Congress on Autonomous Systems (NCAS’ 26)
- -
- Drachten.
After the great success of the first edition in 2025, the National Congress on Autonomous Systems (NCAS) returns on April 2, 2026 as the premier European platform for AI-driven autonomy. We are at the beginning of the Autonomy Economy - an era in which autonomous systems are making work in all sectors smarter, more efficient and safer. These systems will become indispensable in addressing major societal and technological challenges, from energy and food production to logistics and healthcare. The first edition, with Boston Dynamics CTO Aaron Saunders as keynote speaker, attracted more than 450 participants from all over Europe and received wide international attention. In 2026, we are building on this momentum and broadening the program. We are bringing together frontrunners from mobility, logistics, manufacturing, energy, agri-tech and defense.
