City trip: No canals and gable houses: That's how hip Eindhoven is
Philips made the city great. When the electronics group left Eindhoven, the factories stood empty. But new life has moved in. The "New Dutch" is also making the city interesting for tourists.
Eindhoven, a city in the Netherlands, has transformed from a small town to a thriving hub of technology and design. The city's history is tied to the Philips electronics company, which was founded there in 1891 and grew to become a global leader. After Philips left, the city revitalized itself, with creative entrepreneurs and start-ups moving into old factories, which were converted into trendy lofts and offices.
Today, Eindhoven is known as a center for design, with the renowned Design Academy and the annual Dutch Design Week, and is home to high-tech companies like ASML, a global leader in chip-making machines.
