The Brainport Eindhoven region is home to thousands of international professionals, students and families. Every day, they contribute to the strength of our innovation ecosystem. At the same time, it is essential that we continue to listen to their experiences. What works well? What can be improved? That is why the sounding board was established in 2022. A group of internationals and locals who share their perspectives and help shape a more inclusive and attractive Brainport region.

What is the sounding board?

The sounding board consists of a diverse group of 15 professionals from all over the world, living and working in the Brainport region. They meet four times a year to exchange ideas and experiences about living, working and studying in the region.
