30 9. Economic spearheads in the Eindhoven Region

9.1 Medical Technology

The province of North Brabant offers all the favourable conditions for establishing medical companies. The extensive network of medical technology related companies and the strong knowledge infrastructure are combined with a good logistic infrastructure and excellent geographic location. This certainly applies to the Eindhoven Region, where for example the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) is a breeding ground for the medical technology in the region. TU/e invests over 10% of its research capacity in biomedical and medical technology. This research is multidisciplinary and, in many cases, carried out in co-operation with industry and medical institutions in the region.

9.2 Automotive

Europe is the largest of the three vehicle producing markets in the world. With the expansion of the EU, it is expected that the Eastern market will grow rapidly. The potential vehicle demand in Eastern Europe is estimated at 6 to 8 million units. All of Europe’s key vehicle manufacturers face the same challenge. They must become Pan-European and world Class producers, at the same time. If the OEM-s of Brabant wants to play an important international role in the automotive industry, expansion, international partnerships and innovation will be of crucial importance. European manufacturers are traditionally strong in engineering, styling and design. All major engine development laboratories in the world are located in Europe, including Nedcar in the Eindhoven region. North Brabant and in particular Eindhoven region is considered as the centre of the Dutch automotive industry. The main Dutch automotive manufacturers have a foothold in this region. The automotive industry in Brabant is characterized by a couple of large OEM’s with several leading suppliers and a lot of smaller supply companies.

37 9.3 Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Information and communication technology is a major contributor to the economic development of the Eindhoven region. The ICT sector and ICT-related businesses are responsible for much of the growth in the region’s economic activity and employment. Eindhoven is an important ICT area not only within the Netherlands but also on an international scale.

A significant force pushing the ICT sector forward is the ongoing innovation of its products and processes. But due to the short life cycle of these products and the considerable costs and risks associated with new products, it is becoming increasingly difficult to develop the required technology within a company itself. For this reason, the ICT sector is exhibiting more and more of a horizontal organisation in regard to product development. Fellow ICT companies and suppliers are being increasingly involved in product development.

42 9.4 Mechatronics

As a combination of various branches, mechatronics is an important sector for the manufacturing industry in the Eindhoven region. Besides being a source of employment, it accounts for a sizeable portion of R&D expenditure. Although many mechatronics personnel work at large OEMs6 (e.g. Phillips and DAF) and an even larger number work at medium-sized suppliers, the largest number of mechatronics specialists work at the smaller subcontractors and suppliers. Although mechatronics has enjoyed success in recent years, it will have to undergo some major change processes to cope with future international competition and to continue its growth. In this regard, upsizing and a distribution of activities over several markets and end users as well as investing in product development and chain management will be necessary.
