Which ground-breaking technologies are being developed in Brainport?

A car powered by solar energy, food that is printed and a smart camera that uses artificial intelligence to detect skin cancer at an early stage. What do these innovations have in common? They were all developed in Brainport. There is no place in the world where as many patents are applied for as in the region around Eindhoven. Welcome to the ultimate breeding ground for pioneers.

What are breakthrough technologies?

In the Brainport Region, work is being done on new technologies, also known as key technologies. From artificial intelligence to additive manufacturing and from integrated photonics and systems engineering to micro- and nanoelectronics. With these, we realise innovations that provide answers to social issues of today and tomorrow. From global warming to exhaustion of fuels and food sources and overpopulation. With these technologies, we contribute to resolving social challenges, such as global warming, exhaustion of food and fuel sources and overpopulation.

All these technologies will have an impact on our lives and those of our children. They also make an important contribution to the Dutch economy and employment.

Discover the ground-breaking technologies in Brainport

The streaming service that recommends a series that suits your viewing behaviour, a smartwatch that tailors physical exercise advice to you or 3D-printed shoes that fit perfectly: technology plays an increasingly major role in our lives, often unconsciously. Many companies in the Brainport Region are behind these technological developments that define our lives.

Without ASML's chip-making machines, you wouldn't have a smartphone and without Lightyear, a car powered by solar energy would only exist in science fiction films. Discover more here about the key technologies of Brainport.

 

What does it mean for you?

Many companies in the Brainport Region are behind these technological developments that define our lives.

The world around us is changing fast, thanks to these technological developments. That might affect your life too. Whether you work, are still studying or maybe teaching the youngest generation, robotics and artificial intelligence are going to cause jobs to change and new ones to be created. They provide new possibilities with which to resolve social challenges or make our lives easier. Are you interested in knowing what influence these ground-breaking technologies have on your future?
