Eindhoven
City Overview
Eindhoven is the Netherlands’ tech and innovation capital — the birthplace of Philips, where the lithography giant ASML and the High Tech Campus make it "Brainport," one of Europe’s cores for semiconductors and deep tech. Its design academy and Dutch Design Week are famous, with dense engineering and manufacturing talent. Housing costs less than the Randstad core with more space, and it is internationalizing fast — the tech and engineering engine of the southern Netherlands.
