The joint agenda underlying the region's strengthening is called the Brainport Agenda. This agenda was adopted in 2020 for a four-year period. Together with hundreds of regional representatives, this document formulated how Brainport Eindhoven's economic position can be jointly strengthened in a way that benefits all inhabitants of the region and provides sufficient work and good educational opportunities for all.

Since 2022, this has been done in a separate and regular consultation between the national government and the region (the Administrative Consultation Brainport) and based on Brainport's Strategic Agenda.
