Innovation Sky

Amsterdam Innovatie Motor (AIM) was established to maintain and consolidate the trendsetting position of the Amsterdam region in the knowledge economy, promoting innovation, cooperation and new business. It's directed by the Economic Development Board Amsterdam (EDBA).

AIM focus on the development of sectors that are the most promising in terms of strengthening the position of the region, namely:

- Creative industries

- ICT

- Life sciences

- Financial and Business Services

- Sustainability

AIM functions as a facilitator to promote mutual cooperation between knowledge institutions, commerce and industry, and government and social organisations in the Amsterdam region. In concrete terms this entails:

- Improving the business development climate for knowledge intensive businesses with extra attention to start-ups and growth companies;

- Promoting cooperation between knowledge institutions, commerce and industry and government;

- Profiling the Amsterdam region nationally and internationally as a knowledge-intensive region;

- Monitoring developments on a sector-by-sector basis;

- Promoting the availability of adequate employment opportunities.

It's an initiative of the knowledge network, KennisKring Amsterdam, which was initiated as a project in 2004. In August 2006, the project was registered as a foundation under the name,Stichting AIM, and since that time AIM has been operating as an independent organisation.
