We orchestrate innovation for urban transformation by providing a collaborative space where cities and leading tech universities learn and experiment together. We act as a springboard for the next generation of urban innovators. Immersed in Amsterdam as our real-world lab we research, design and share metropolitan solutions for cities around the globe.
AMS Institute is a unique transdisciplinary urban innovation ecosystem, rooted in its founding institutes TU Delft, Wageningen University & Research, and MIT, and shaped by its partnership with the City of Amsterdam. As a thought leader, accelerator, and learning community, we develop groundbreaking scientific insights, imaginative solutions, and impactful technologies. We research critical and interconnected challenges in mobility, energy, circularity, digitalization, food and climate adaptation to accelerate the development of tangible metropolitan solutions.
Our Corporate Reports
In recent years, we have shared our journey through corporate reports highlighting our projects, key milestones, and methodology. In doing so, we not only documented our progress but also laid the foundation for a growing community committed to impact-driven innovation.
As we look ahead in 2025, we are excited to introduce a new way of sharing our story: the AMS Impact Digest. Concise and dynamic, the digest tells the story of our methodology and projects, bringing to life the tangible outcomes and real change we create together. The release of our first issue, reflecting on the 2024–2025 academic year, is expected in September 2025.
