Why you may or may not choose location Eindhoven now
Competition is fierce, and you want to avoid choosing a location where you won't stand out or have sufficient access to the right partners. Maybe you're considering Amsterdam or Utrecht, because you see a lot of startups there. At the same time, you hear that Eindhoven is bursting with R&D facilities and investment opportunities, but is that really true? You want to be sure that you're not just buying a nice talk, but actually finding facilities, talent and growth ambitions that suit your startup.
Why is the Brainport region so strong?

Not only can you find the Eindhoven University of Technology here, but also the High Tech Campus and numerous R&D companies create an innovative environment. In this region, cooperation is no empty slogan: big players like Philips and ASML work together with small-scale start-ups, precisely because they believe in co-creation. At Twice, one of the incubators in Eindhoven, you step right into an environment where knowledge, funding and networks come together.

Imagine this: you step into your office in the morning, somewhere on the TU/e Campus or High Tech Campus, and are greeted by fellow startups that are as hungry for innovation as you are. Moments later, you walk into one of the labs to test a prototype. In the afternoon, you speak with an investor who already showed interest after seeing you at a networking event. Then you end the day at a get-together, where you unexpectedly get tips from a scale-up that has gone through the exact same growth phase. This is not utopia, but daily life in Eindhoven.
