Stronger Together: Bakkers | Hommen joins the Brainport Partnerfonds

"As Founder of Bakkers | Hommen and co-Founder of Concrete Culture, I am convinced that the Brainport Partnerfonds plays a crucial role in strengthening the regional ecosystem. As a group of companies we are naturally used to blend and merge initiatives and activities to thrive communities. With roots based in Eindhoven Brainport and Rotterdam Mainport, we embrace a disruptive and non-compliant approach on collaboration on urban real estate developments, Culture, tech and design initiatives, and other investments.  

By balancing economic growth, social well-being, and technological innovation, we create vibrant spaces that offer affordable housing, enhance Immersive tech and cultural attraction, retain local talent, and uplift surrounding neighbourhoods. This can only be done by challenging conventional thinking and embracing cross-sector collaboration. We believe in joined forces on various partnerships in the public and private sector to share knowledge, network and skills, accelerate project implementation and ensure complementary alignment to achieve these mutual goals for sake of regional benefit and local prosperity.

I see Eindhoven and North Brabant as a region with exceptional potential, where innovation, cultural development and economic growth come together, where cooperation has been in the DNA for generations. With Koelhuis & KH District among other flagship projects, we have proven that transformative area development is possible when vision, boldness and craftsmanship come together. The Brainport Partnerfonds allows us to increase this impact and create lasting value for city-region and the community."
