Eindhoven likes to call itself Brainport, and it has earned the name: the region around ASML, Philips’ old stomping grounds and the High Tech Campus files more patents per head than almost anywhere in Europe, and TU/e keeps the pipeline of engineers flowing. Dutch Design Week adds a creative layer on top of the silicon. It’s a city of systematic thinkers with international colleagues, generous salaries, and calendars carved into sprints — people who appreciate that a well-designed template beats an improvised note every single time.

Frequently asked questions
Do the dashboards work in euros?

A4 or US Letter in Eindhoven?
A4 for home and Dutch offices; the identical files also print correctly on US Letter for international teams — margins are engineered for both.
