Gurobi Connect in Amsterdam
June 24, 2025

Anisa Berberi, EMEA Sales Director, Gurobi Optimization

Christopher Smith, Account Director, Nordics & Benelux, Gurobi Optimization

A real-world production challenge — optimizing malt blends for quality, cost, and capacity. We’ll share the business case, our transition from open-source tools, and the solution we use today with Gurobi.

More information on the abstract coming soon!

Finding high-quality feasible solutions quickly is a key challenge in real-world optimization applications. Gurobi is equipped with a rich set of heuristics that enable rapid solution generation and improvement to strike the balance between time-to-good-solutions and proof-of-quality. This talk will explore heuristics as an integral part of Gurobi’s solving strategy and demonstrate how certain non-default settings can drastically reduce the time-to-first-solution on certain models. Join us to discover how Gurobi makes advanced mathematical optimization a practical and effective tool for real-world decision-making.

Ronald van der Velden, Manager of Technical Account Management EMEA, Gurobi Optimization

The Ministry of Finance is experimenting with a new method that can contribute to reform the Dutch tax system. We use Gurobi’s optimization technology to be able to find a new taxsystem using predefined goals, such as simplifying the taxsystem, while preserving specific constraints, such as budgetary or income-specific constraints. While still in validation stage, we are happy to present our case.

We’ll close the day with a brief Q&A session. Then, unwind with drinks and snacks while connecting with fellow attendees, and continue the conversation at our hourlong Networking Reception.

The event will end at 19:00.
