The campus provides advanced facilities and an optimized working culture for many thousands of top-notch engineers. It focuses on crucial technological areas such as Microsystems, devices, embedded systems, signal processing and nanotechnology.
Technologically advanced companies, such as Philips Research, Atos Origin (as from 2005), FluXXion, Philips Semiconductors and FOM, are already in residence. Others such as ASML, FEI Company and TNO Industrial Technology are literally next door, as is the renowned Eindhoven Technical University, one of Europe's leading universities in science engineering and technology.
Under the theme 'open innovation', technological breakthrough is assisted by an emphasis on sharing equipment, services and knowledge. With access to facilities such as prototyping, clean rooms, gas analysis and testing, companies can optimally accelerate development of new ideas. This produces multiple opportunities for co-operation, joint ventures, creating valuable partnerships and turning ideas into business ventures.
Over the past 100 years Philips has successfully developed and launched many successful technologies. The spirit of co-operation has been crucial in these efforts. The High Tech Campus Eindhoven will be a place that promotes interaction and teamwork - reflected in the architecture, for example, with buildings being no more than four floors high. These low-rise buildings - in which there are many meeting areas - will encourage consultation and communication, while supporting synergies by creating opportunities for ideas to be exchanged and knowledge shared.
