BOM’s strategy
BOM strengthens the Brabant economy by driving innovation and entrepreneurship. The unique strength of BOM lies in our three competencies: developing, investing, and internationalising. These reinforce each other and accelerate change. To achieve greater results, we focus on four themes: our focus areas.
The combined application of our competencies, the acceleration of innovations, and the focus we apply form the foundation of our strategy. In this way, we contribute to the major societal transitions of our time. And we make Brabant an international frontrunner.
Creating impact starts with collaboration, integrated thinking, and creativity. That is what we will continue to fully commit to in the new multi-year period.

Visualising BOM’s strategy
2025–2028
We accelerate where it’s needed
Brabant is changing. Rapidly and profoundly. Think of the shift in food and energy, the growing demand for healthcare, and the rise of key technologies. These societal transitions are urgent, but they also offer opportunities. Opportunities to build a strong, enterprising, and sustainable economy.
To increase speed and impact, we apply focus. We concentrate on four major transitions that are crucial for Brabant’s future. Within each theme, we select a clear focus area where we can make a difference with our core competencies: developing, investing, and internationalising.
Climate-neutral energy
The energy transition requires smart solutions that make Brabant less dependent on fossil sources. BOM invests in flexible systems for energy generation, storage, and distribution.Focus area: Decentralised energy systems
Healthy future
The dual ageing of the population and pressure on healthcare demand new solutions. Brabant offers these through strong clusters in medtech, life sciences, and healthtech.Focus area: Med Tech, Life Sciences & Healthtech
Sustainable food system
The way we produce food must change: more sustainable, healthier, and future-proof. Brabant has the knowledge, location, and infrastructure to play a leading role in this.Focus area: Plant-based: Brabant: the Scale-Up Plant of Europe
Key technologies
Technologies such as AI, quantum, and photonics will shape how we live, work, and learn in the future. BOM focuses on digitalisation, defence innovations, and deep tech to strengthen Brabant as a top European region.
