Media: Innovation accelerator Eindhoven Engine enters new phase

As a society, we face numerous challenges. At Eindhoven Engine, a collaborative program between companies, knowledge institutions, social organizations and citizens in the Brainport region, work has been going on for years on innovations to address these problems. Now the program is breaking new ground.

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.
