Climate-neutral Brainport 2040: Circular water hubs

We proudly announce a landmark collaboration between Eindhoven Engine, Rijkswaterstaat, and a coalition of visionary partners. This agreement, officially kicked off during the Festival of Disruption 2025, marks a decisive step toward achieving a climate-neutral Brainport by 2040 through circular water hubs.

How we work

We are committed to four key focus areas. For each area, we start by making the complex problem understandable and then transform it into sustainable, impactful solutions.

We always use high, low or no-tech with a purpose, and our solutions are co-created with those who experience the problems firsthand. The quadruple helix model within the Brainport region is our way of collaborating effectively.
