Discover Brainport
A model built on collaboration and clear focus on technology
A rich industrial heritage and close public- private alignment, shared agendas and joint investment have made Brainport one of the most successful innovation regions in Europe. Brainport is home to world-class educational and knowledge institutions like TU/e and Holst Centre and leading companies including Philips, ASML, VDL, Thermo Fischer Scientific, DAF and hundreds of SME’s and start- and scale-ups. Brainport contributes to key technology and market domains such as semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, defense and energy and is deeply embedded in European and global value chains.
When to visit Brainport
International interest in Brainport is high. We therefore carefully assess visit requests based on their relevance to the economic development of the region and on reciprocity: how an exchange can create value for both sides, now and in the future.
Visiting us is most relevant when we connect on clear thematic or strategic ambitions. We prioritise delegations that represent regions or ecosystems with identifiable strengths or plans related to Brainport’s key technology and market domains, such as semiconductors, medical technology, advanced manufacturing or defense.
A visit is particularly valuable when public authorities act as a gateway to a broader ecosystem. For example by connecting us to relevant companies, clusters or knowledge institutions within your region. Delegations that combine policymakers with representatives from industry or academia tend to lead to more meaningful and actionable exchanges.
Visits that focus solely on government-to-government learning, without a clear link to concrete collaboration or ecosystem development, are less likely to fit.
