Pioneers in Mobility

Brainport Eindhoven. Home of Pioneers.

Brainport Eindhoven has great ambitions in terms of mobility. The ultimate goal: zero emissions, traffic jams and deaths. This requires not only smart technology solutions, but a transition of a complete infrastructure and industry. There is a widespread need for sustainable, emission-free, smart and safe technological mobility solutions: electrically powered vehicles and associated infrastructure, hydrogen as energy carrier and smart, autonomous and connected vehicles and digital networks and systems. With its many, closely cooperating, innovative companies, IT businesses and knowledge and educational institutes that focus on mobility, Brainport holds an excellent position. Add the Automotive Campus and a government that is supporting mobility pilots in public spaces or is acting as launching customer, and the world is at our feet.

Programme Office Green & Smart Mobility

Three large consortia of more than 60 Dutch companies in the mobility sector, together with the government, are investing over 120 million euros to realise innovative technological breakthroughs in electrification, hydrogen applications and future-oriented digital infrastructure in mobility. The three consortia form the basis of the multi-year programmatic implementation of the HTSM Automotive roadmap.

 

Programme Office Green & Smart Mobility

Green Transport Delta - Electrification

The project Green Transport Delta - Electrification aims to develop a strong battery ecosystem in the Netherlands and thus accelerate the transition to climate-neutral mobility.

Green Transport Delta - Hydrogen

The main objective of the Green Transport Delta - Hydrogen project is to develop three hydrogen technologies: hydrogen combustion engines, hydrogen fuel cells and a next-generation hydrogen refuelling infrastructure technology.

Digital Infrastructure Future-Proof Mobility

Within the project, the partners are developing a system architecture for digital infrastructure, including the critical core technologies associated with localization, traffic services, digital maps, and charging infrastructure.

Battery Competence Cluster - NL

The Battery Competence Cluster - NL is the program where companies, knowledge institutions and government join forces to build up knowledge and competences in the field of battery technology.

Brainport Bereikbaar

Optimise the traffic flow and accessibility of the Brainport region by combining smart travel solutions.

SmartwayZ

The mobility programme SmartwayZ.NL deals with the issues of urbanisation and accessibility in various infrastructural challenges in North Brabant and Limburg.

Join Us at Automotive Week 2023

The Netherlands has a large concentration of automotive industry, High Tech industry and knowledge infrastructure. The Brainport region with the Automotive Campus in Helmond at its heart is the place where new developments around smart, safe and sustainable mobility are developed, tested and demonstrated. The innovation ecosystem for implementation and upscaling of new mobility solutions. Together with many partners, we will show and experience this during Automotive Week 2023 from 16 to 19 April 2023. Sign up now!

Meet the green & smart mobility students of Brainport Eindhoven

Daniel Riechmann Mendez (TU/e)

“It’s wanting to have a positive impact on the world. It’s cliche, but it’s wanting to do so now. In this regard, I think I can also speak for all my team members.”

Stijn van Deudekom (TU/e)

"The link from your studies to your career is guided quite well. If you want, you could get to know a lot of companies during your studies."

Laura van Erp (TU/e)

“I would like to start my own company. I also think a scale-up or start-up fits in very well with that. That I can make my own decisions. I like that freedom.”

Luuk Roozen (TU/e)

"I also like that companies are so close. What I've noticed over the past year at Solar is how important it is that you can switch quickly with companies, and that's easiest if you can just pass by."

Rainier Heijne (TU/e)

"You can roll right into the business world here, because you've actually been in contact with the business world a lot. I think that is unique."

Atharva Kale (TU/e)

"Even though India is a heavy tech industry, it’s not as innovative as Brainport Eindhoven is. Here we are so focused on the next step."

Kjell Revenberg (TU/e)

"Now that I'm sitting here, I can see how much I've developed and how much I've learned."

Tycho Smokers (TU/e)

"I also think it is important to contribute something useful to society. I would like to help make a sustainable future possible."

Lotte van Dasler (TU/e)

"If you believe in it and are driven, basically anything is possible."

Luc Siecker (TU/e)

"I have learned more in this time with the team than I did in school, in terms of social skills and practical experience."
