Eindhoven
   

Once started in the Southampton (Hampshire) region in South-East Eng- land and in the Cherbourg and Le Havre region or the  Calais / Normandy region in France ContactB2B is now projecting another triangle right into the industrial heart of the Netherlands. This way also a new connection to the Eindhoven-Leuven-Aachen triangle will be established, the area that spans so three countries: Germany, Bel- gium and the Netherlands and that is also known as the European 'silicon valley' or the DSP Valley.

However, there are also a lot of other industries and  businesses to meet in the Eindhoven region.

   

Eindhoven is a city with over 225 000 inhabitants and so the fifth largest city in the Netherlands. It is a modern city characterized by its international industries and businesses. Eindhoven was the European Design Capital of 2006. Also in that year the Eindhoven High Tech Campus has won the award of being the best busines- ses park in the Netherlands.
