“This is the story of our football club PSV, our pride and joy. But this story also emphasises the strength of Brainport. In good times and in bad, we support each other. Because cooperation is embedded in our DNA. This innovative partnership gives us the opportunity to show even more people what Brainport Eindhoven is all about”, says Paul van Nunen, Managing Director Brainport Development.

“The partnership between the five companies, Brainport and PSV is unique. We have been busy to flesh out this partnership since last summer. This campaign is the kick-off for a number of specific projects of which the results will become visible to all in the coming period.”

Strengthen national and international appeal

The five companies are sharing a huge challenge: to attract and retain talent. In addition, they want to jointly invest in the business climate of Brainport Eindhoven and in the health of the employees and residents that work and live here. To enhance the national and international appeal of the region. By means of PSV as the linking pin.

PSV legends and ambassadors Ji-Sung Park (South Korea), DaMarcus Beasley (United States), Sun Xiang (China), Luuk de Jong (all the way from Spain), Kalusha Bwalya (Zambia), Ritsu Doan (Japan), Francisco Rodriguez and Carlos Salcido (Mexico) have already promoted this special campaign in the run-up to the match against FC Twente in the Philips Stadium.

“When I came to the Netherlands, I didn’t know much about Eindhoven”, says Carlos Salcido. “But I soon found out that it is situated in a very special region. In Eindhoven, things are being invented and manufactured that are used all over the world. That is something to be proud of”.
