More than anywhere else in the Netherlands, radical and social innovations are realized in the Eindhoven region. On average, the share of innovations here is nearly 10% higher than in the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

The Erasmus Competition and Innovation Monitor 2014 – 2015<\/a> presented in Rotterdam today, offers a broad view on the state of radical and social innovation in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

“The High Tech Campus is a springboard for innovation”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Schermafbeelding<\/a>Lead researcher prof. Henk Volberda of the Erasmus Research Institute of Management indicates that “the high tech campus in Eindhoven acts as a springboard for companies, including startups, to realize disruptive innovations.” This, according to him, is being\u00a0realised\u00a0by\u00a0the cooperation between the Technical University Eindhoven, established companies, startups, and government agencies.<\/p>\n

The Eindhoven region also has an above average degree of typically radical innovation. This also is\u00a0about 10% more than the national average. Finally, the Brainport region also scores above average on social innovation. The region is just over 3% more succesful\u00a0on social innovation compared to the national average. Volberda indicates that “cooperation in the Eindhoven region in terms of both technological and social innovation pays off in higher levels of product and service innovations.”<\/p>\n
