Eindhoven is an exciting city in the Netherlands and plays an important role on the contemporary and future stage of creative innovation. Eindhoven is centrally located in Europe and easy accessible via Eindhoven Airport (or two other airports within 1,5-hour drive) and train.
Eindhoven is bursting with energy and it’s no coincidence that when you Google the city, you see light bulbs. Over 125 years ago, Phillips brought light to Eindhoven. The company transformed the city in what it is today a vibrant city with cozy cafés, trendy retail concepts and restaurants offering the cuisine of the world. Next to that Eindhoven is the design city of the Netherlands with several architectural highlights.
