High Tech Campus Eindhoven

🐑 The hard-working High Tech Campus sheep are back, doing what they do best: mowing the grass!

💡Fun fact: they’re Kempen Heath sheep, a hardy local breed that thrives on poor soil, keeps the heath healthy and holds back the purple moor grass.

They head off on holiday at the end of this week and return in August or September, so catch them before they go! 👋 You'll find them in front of the NXP headquarters, across the lake.

We’re proud to be part of the Brainport High Tech Ontdekkingsroute.

A new study by BRAVENTURE and the Gerard & Anton Foundation, based on data from Dealroom.co, shows Brainport's health and medtech sector has grown from a handful of startups into a vibrant ecosystem.

The IO+ article outlines the world-class health technologies being developed here, but the real question is whether these companies can turn individual successes into a durable, scalable engine.

💡Three highlights from the article:
- There are 47 active medtech and healthtech startups and scaleups founded since 2010. Together they've raised €611 million. The sector accounts for 32% of all post-2010 ventures, 33% of funding rounds and roughly a quarter of regional capital raised.

- Regional medtech and healthtech companies tackle the most urgent healthcare challenges. For example, ONWARD Medical has raised €207 million to scale its spinal cord stimulation technology, and High Tech Campus-based Salvia BioElectronics has raised €81 million for its ultra-thin implant for chronic migraine.

- Initiatives such as Eindhoven University of Technology's Eindhoven Institute for Transformative Health Technology (HEALTH), CUREON and the Smart BioMaterials Center (SBMC) add a foundational support system for medtech and healthtech companies, bridging the path from lab to certified, scaled product.

High Tech Campus Eindhoven: New home for Thorizon’s test facility for a molten salt reactor

We congratulate Thorizon on this important milestone and we are proud that developments like these find a home at High Tech Campus Eindhoven. Thorizon’s new test facility is another example of what is possible in the Brainport Eindhoven region when ambitious ideas are matched with the right facilities, expertise and collaborative ecosystem. 🤝🏼

This Monday, European Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra launched Thorizon’s test facility for a molten salt reactor at High Tech Campus Eindhoven.

Hoekstra visited the Campus together with a delegation from the Dutch government, the Provincie Noord-Brabant and industry representatives. Together with Thorizon CEO Kiki Lauwers, he officially opened the facility by cutting the ribbon. The event was attended by State Secretary Jo-Annes de Bat (Climate Policy and Green Growth), Deputy Martijn van Gruijthuijsen and technology leader Peter Wennink.

Mark your calendars for the next 3EALITY Session! Join us for Beyond the hype: What is a realistic roadmap towards human-like robotic manipulation? 🤖

🗓️ June 23, 15:30 -18:30 CET
📍 3EALITY | HTC 37 | High Tech Campus

Dr. Alessandro Saccon will discuss robotics research over the last 10 years at TU Eindhoven, including topics such as visuotactile perception, digital twins for robotic manipulation, motion planning and control, actuator technology and computational hardware for machine learning.

It’s a lot! 🤔

Nutshell: There’s a is lot of hype around AI and humanoid robots, but advances in machine learning, computational and mechatronics hardware and model-based engineering are bringing human-like robotic manipulation closer to reality. Can robots reliably operate in our physical world?

Lucis One (Building HTC 91) is increasingly becoming home to a growing community of innovative companies, with 5 new residents joining the building this year alone. 🏢

Today, we’re taking a look inside one of the especially beautiful office spaces within our tallest building on campus: The office space of Zenya on the 5th and 6th floors. From the two thoughtfully designed floors, employees enjoy sweeping views across the Campus, complemented by the building’s only private outdoor terrace. 🌿

The workspace was designed with flexibility and growth in mind, with the aim of encouraging people to come to the office. Calm natural tones, smart climate control, and a clean, open layout create a welcoming environment for collaboration, helping employees feel connected as a team.

Nice side note: the design was created by Sofie Monten-de Stigter from Stuurman Ontwerpt, who is integrated into our Campus Management team and has helped shape many spaces across campus over the years.

Beyond the office itself, the building Lucis One offers direct access to the highway, ample parking facilities next to the building, a modern reception, shared rooftop garden and all the amenities of the Campus within walking distance, making it an ideal homebase, especially for growing software, AI or service companies.

💡Interested in locating your company in a modern, high-end office environment like this? Get in touch with Elsbeth Smit or Jesper Beerens from our team. They’ll be happy to show you around.

We work together with the following team of real estate agents: Robert van der Sommen and Frédérique Molenschot (CBRE Nederland), Romy Rooijakkers and Thijs Janssen (JLL), Dirk W. Verberne MRICS RM, Felix van Eeten, and Esteban van der Weijden (Verschuuren & Schreppers Bedrijfsmakelaars).

Great energy at the Conference Center High Tech Campus Eindhoven last week, as the AI Innovation Center welcomed over 300 attendees to explore one of today’s most pressing topics: European AI sovereignty. 🛡️

Together with Bernardo Kastrup (Euclyd), Bram-Ernst Verhoef (Axelera AI), and Ralf Zoetekouw (Datacation), the conversation focused on what Europe needs to strengthen its position in AI, including compute infrastructure, semiconductors, AI applications, adoption, and ownership of critical technologies and data.

💡 Here's what we learned:

𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in critical infrastructure and industry, Europe remains heavily reliant on non-European chips, cloud platforms, and AI models, creating growing strategic and geopolitical risks.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲
The discussion challenged the assumption that Europe has already “lost” the hardware race. According to the speakers, Europe still has the engineering talent, industrial capabilities, and semiconductor expertise to compete, even without building entirely new fabs.

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀
From AI accelerators to energy-efficient architectures, European companies are proving they can innovate across the full stack, not only at the application layer.

𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
AI becomes most strategically valuable when it is connected to what is uniquely yours: proprietary data, domain expertise, operational processes, and industry knowledge.

𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱
The funding landscape remains scattered, adoption is often risk-averse, and regulation tends to arrive before scale. At the same time, the speakers emphasized that Europe does have the talent, knowledge base, and industrial ecosystem needed to compete globally.

Or, as Bernardo Kastrup summarized: “Europe can be strategically and largely autonomous before 2030. It just requires will and courage.”

The conversation doesn’t stop here. The AI Innovation Center will continue highlighting perspectives from the event in the coming weeks.
