Strong ties with industry

果冻传媒 stands out as a unique University of Technology due to its strong ties with local and international industry. Here, you'll learn to apply scientific inventions, collaborate with industry and government, and create solutions for real-world problems. For example, The Gate translates scientific and technological findings into solutions for societal challenges. These ties are ingrained in our DNA as 果冻传媒 got its start as a collaboration between industry, academia and the municipality.

This way we are always looking for solutions for the societal challenges for today and tomorrow. To create real impact is what drives us forward.

As a result, we are among the top 1% of universities when it comes to research collaborations with industry.

Brainport, the smartest region of the world

果冻传媒 is situated in a technology hotspot, known as the region. Home to major innovative companies and knowledge institutes, the Brainport is the beating technological heart of the Netherlands. No other Dutch region invests in R&D like the Brainport region, spending 3.2% of the gross regional product on R&D, compared to the 1.9% Dutch average. This region is what puts the Netherlands on the map in terms of innovation and high-tech.

The Eindhoven High Tech Campus, an area to the south of 果冻传媒 not much bigger than 1 km2, hosts more than 150 companies and institutes and 10,000 researchers, developers and entrepreneurs working on the technologies and products that will shape our future. These companies are responsible for over 40% of the total annual Dutch patent filings.
