Counting down to Dutch Design Week 2024!  

In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle with reading, writing, arithmetic and/ or digital skills. These people are confronted with immense challenges on a daily basis, which seriously hinders their participation in society. 

Eindhoven Engine aims to help build an inclusive society. To create more awareness, join 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 ‘𝗔𝗮𝗵𝗵, 𝗶𝗸 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗽 𝗵𝗲𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘁!!' to experience how complex the problem of a lack in basic skills is in our society 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀.

Upcoming Event

Get ready to be inspired – Join us at the Festival of Disruption!

Are you ready to disrupt the status quo and tackle the world’s most complex challenges? Join with us to take up today's wicked problems, such as energy transition, preventive health and inclusive society.

"Wicked problems demand impactful solutions — let’s co-create

a future where innovation meets purpose.”

As energy demands continue to rise, many regions, including the Brainport region, are facing significant grid congestion challenges. These issues hinder the efficient use and storage of renewable energy, putting strain on the local electricity network. With ambitious sustainability goals in place, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions to optimize energy management and ensure a stable grid.

ThinkWave: Empowering innovation, one move at a time

Hi, I’m Kay Smits (23 years old), a business innovation graduate now pursuing a master’s in data science and working one day a week at Eindhoven Engine.

For my bachelor’s thesis, I explored the ever-evolving field of innovation management and how we can better measure and stimulate innovation processes. After months of research I developed ThinkWave — a virtual tool.

Keeping up with the demand for manufacturing growth is the main challenge for the entire semiconductor industry. The Eindhoven Engine OpenCall project ‘Advanced long-range piezo-electric wafer stage’ therefore aims to demonstrate the feasibility of an ultra-short stroke stage using lightweight and compact piezo-electric actuators.

New students at Eindhoven Engine

In September, six talented students from Fontys, Avans, and TU/e joined Eindhoven Engine. They will contribute to our four key programs: Sustainable Semiconductors, Future-Proof Care, Inclusive Society, and Livable Region. Their mission? To devise innovative solutions to significant societal challenges, directly impacting our region.

Additionally, 25 students from the Fontys Crossover Lab for the Inclusive Society program, along with 19 students from Fontys and Avans participating in the Future Proof Care program with an assignment for Kempenhaeghe started at Eindhoven Engine too. Both groups are set to introduce innovative ideas and deliver impactful solutions.
