Get ready to be inspired – Join us at the Festival of Disruption!
We are excited to share that we are entering a new phase—an era where we initially focused on identifying technological innovations to solve societal challenges. Now, we are diving deep into the complex challenges our society faces. Bring your expertise and collaborate with us to turn multifaceted, complex, and ever-changing ‘wicked problems’ into sustainable, impactful solutions.
Currently, Eindhoven Engine focuses on the following four wicked problems:
- Inclusive Society
Bridging the gap for the 2.5 million people in the Netherlands who lack basic skills. - Livable Region
Tackling the energy transition and ensuring access to electricity for everyone. - Future-Proof Care
Rethinking healthcare with an emphasis on prevention and vitality. - Sustainable Semicon
Innovating in circularity and reducing CO2 emissions in industries.
We start by making these problems understandable and then transform them into sustainable, impactful solutions. We always use technology with a purpose, and our solutions are co-created with those experiencing the problems.
