About Brainport for Each Other
Brainport for Each Other is an association of employers from industry, the social field, education and government. They work together to find solutions to social issues in the Brainport region. Based on a sense of responsibility, equality and curiosity about the other. And about how things can be more social. Because we can only remain economically successful if we are also socially strong.
Together We Achieve More
The members of Brainport for Each Other act together as a catalyst or auxiliary engine for what does not happen automatically, helping to scale up successful social projects, ensuring social innovation, and connecting different spheres. By working together in an association, we increase our capacity for realization, and every small effort makes a big difference. Brainport for Each Other serves as a single point of contact, reaching 400,000 employees. And behind them, students, pupils, tenants, people seeking help, residents, and citizens. This way, we make a difference for everyone in the Brainport region.
