Why is it a great chance for startups to visit Eindhoven?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eindhoven is the motherland of Philips, whose presence is probably the largest single contributing factor to the major growth of Eindhoven over the course of the 20th century. It has attracted and spun off many hi-tech companies, making Eindhoven a major technology and industrial hub.
\nAlongside that there is the Brainport region, which is also called “The Smartest Place on Earth”*, because more than 130 thousand innovative technological companies work within the \u201eDutch Silicon Valley\u201d. Their main focus areas are as follows: High Tech Systems & Materials, Food, Automotive, as well as Lifetec and Design. Furthermore 8 per cent of the Dutch GDP is invested in this region for research & development, over and above that Brainport generates 37 per cent of all patents registered in the Netherlands each year, which is the third largest number of registered patents in Europe. The investment climate in Eindhoven is the best in Europe after London and Helsinki. In the overall ranking of its Foreign Direct Investment Index (FDI index), the Financial Times ranks Eindhoven in third place.
\nOn the top of this, the following technological companies are based in Eindhoven: Philips, ASML, TNO, Draka, FEI, Fluke, and TomTom. Furthermore here is Strijp S, which is the creative and cultural center of Eindhoven.<\/p>\n

DBH SeedStar provides numerous opportunities in this specialized environment for Hungarian startups so they too can participate in our incubation and acceleration program with tailor-made mentoring and business advice.<\/p>\n
