High Tech Campus Eindhoven in the Netherlands is a worldwide well-known technology centre, with a diversity of high tech companies who work together in the development of new technologies, from idea, concept to prototyping. It provides advanced facilities and an optimised working culture for many thousands of top-notch engineers. It focuses on crucial technological areas such as microsystems, devices, embedded systems, signal processing and nanotechnology.

Technologically advanced companies, like Philips Research, Atos Origin (as from 2005), FluXXion, Philips Semiconductors, FOM and IP&S are already in residence. Others such as ASML, FEI Company and TNO Industrial Technology are literally next-door, as is the renowned TU Eindhoven, one of Europe’s leading universities in science engineering & technology. Under the theme ‘open innovation’, technological breakthrough is assisted by an emphasis on sharing equipment, services and knowledge. With access to facilities like prototyping, clean rooms, gas analysis and testing, companies can really accelerate development of new ideas. All in all, there are plenty of opportunities for co-operation, joint ventures, creating valuable partnerships and turning ideas into business ventures.

Furthermore the High Tech Campus Eindhoven is also situated in the middle of what has been described as Europe’s leading R&D region. This area, also known as the ‘Intelligence Delta’, stretches from Leuven and Aachen in the south to the important technical university towns of Delft and Enschede further north.

Over the past 100 years Philips has developed and launched many successful technologies. The spirit of co-operation has been crucial in these efforts. High Tech Campus Eindhoven will be a place that promotes interaction and teamwork. This is reflected in e.g. the architecture, campus sport and the shared seminars/conferences that are held in The Strip. This elongated building is the heart of the Campus and houses all shared facilities such as the Conference Center and various restaurants.
