Modern medicine is magic. Or, at least, as close as we’ll get to witnessing it in action. At Brainport Eindhoven, numerous medtech companies are making exciting steps forward in new health technology. These innovations are supported by collaborations with medical organisations, regional hospitals, healthcare professionals, and many more. Developments in robotics, for example, are being used to trace illnesses, assist in diagnosis, and support staff shortages, to name just a few. This MedTech cluster is built on a strong foundation with a basis from industry-leader, Philips.

All those jobs and achievements are pretty great, but how about your free time? When moving to Eindhoven, here’s what to expect: Eindhoven ranks amongst the top 5 largest municipalities of the Netherlands and is, as mentioned before, located in the Southern part of our country. The city has many industrial roots, which can still be found in the architecture throughout the city today. People that live there are commonly known to be easy-going and fun to be around, or in Dutch 'gezellig'. We promise you that once you find your roots here, you won't ever want to leave. However, should you do decide to hop home for the weekend or a special occasion, you can jump right into the aeroplane at the regional airport (the second largest airport we have in the Netherlands).
