A working 2dA prototype is being given room to grow. Computer vision and language models help employees take the next step in their workflow, combining practical and social value.
The grant enables further development of hardware and software that understands context and helps guide work processes.
The original idea was to develop worker-supporting technology that genuinely helps people in their daily work.
At 2dA, we built a working prototype in which computer vision and language models come together in a system that observes, understands context and supports the next step in the workflow.
With that prototype, we submitted our project to a public innovation programme. A rigorous technical assessment followed, including additional questions and a second review round.
We have now received confirmation that our project is among the selected initiatives that will receive grant funding.
That support enables us to continue building the hardware required to take a working prototype further towards a robust and scalable application.
Just as important is that we can realise this next phase entirely in-house, from Nijmegen. That keeps knowledge, development and application close together and allows us to continue building technology with both practical and social value.
For us, worker-supporting technology is about practical value: organising work more intelligently, making processes more consistent and guiding staff more effectively in execution. That is also where we see its social value: with this technology, we want to make work more achievable for people who are further from the labour market, so that more people can participate and continue to develop.
Within the technical setup, OpenClaw also plays an important role as the central orchestration layer, where context is retained, tasks are routed and part of the handling towards the employee is supported.
That is exactly what we are continuing to build on now.
