When it comes to investments in Research and Development (say, innovation), Eindhoven is on a lonely high within the Netherlands. At least, when it comes to investments done by companies.

With a short message on Tuesday, ING confirmed a situation that actually dates back to Philips’ high days. “South-East Brabant is heading with a huge distance compared to the big cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague.” Of course, Eindhoven’s global top position as the place-to-be for new patents is closely related to this R&D-effort. For ING, it is proof of the strength of the region: “Not underestimating the importance and contribution of education and public R&D, it is an important\u00a0sign for the local economy that companies are willing to\u00a0invest so much more than elsewhere.”<\/p>\n
