Eindhoven is the city of high-tech, design and knowledge. Because fame\u00a0doesn’t come by itself, it’s a great thing\u00a0that Eindhoven has also traditionally been a city of pioneers, people who came from elsewhere, made themselves noticed and went tinkering with others to build something new. This was the case in the old days,\u00a0when Eindhoven still was Philips’s company town, but it’s still that way.<\/p>\n

The city wouldn’t have been what it is at this point in time, if over the years it hadn’t been helped by people from outside. From the rest of Brabant, other parts of the Netherlands, the Belgian border region, but increasingly also from countries far away. If you want proof, just take a walk\u00a0on the Strip at\u00a0the High Tech Campus around lunchtime and you can easily find\u00a0yourself in India.<\/p>\n

\"logo<\/a>To honor this group of people, and to give them the spotlights for once, e52 is working\u00a0in\u00a0cooperation with the High Tech Campus<\/a>, Brainport Development<\/a>, ASML<\/a>, TU\/e<\/a>, Eindhoven365<\/a>, and Holland Expat Center<\/a> to create the\u00a0Expat Top 10. The aim is to arrive at a list of ten people who have meant a lot to the Eindhoven society. This might be because of an invention, an individual performance, an important role in a company, the impact of their startup or simply because they are significant for society. In short, it’s about the people of whom Eindhoven may be proud and grateful. There will be no number one, the whole top-10 consists of\u00a0winners.<\/p>\n

The jury, chaired by Alderman Staf Depla (Economic Affairs), looks at all kinds of criteria, but puts special emphasis on importance for society. As a\u00a0definition of an expat we use: “Someone who has come from abroad to Eindhoven as an adult, in order to perform a job in the local community for more than a short period of time.”<\/p>\n

After the jury process, e52 will publish\u00a0portraits of the ten winners; also there will be a meeting in which we stress and celebrate the importance\u00a0of the international. This\u00a0party might look like one of our previous events (e52 organized the top-10 startups-to-watch<\/a> and High Tech Peak Awards<\/a> last year), but we will determine that later.<\/p>\n

Of course, we already have plenty of ideas about the people who really belong in this list. But the best basis for a good top-10 is input from the city itself. So if you know an international Eindhovenaar<\/em> eligible according for\u00a0these top-10, please let us know. Just send us\u00a0a name and a brief justification of your opinion by email to info@innovationorigins.com. Your input is welcome until\u00a0April 10th, after which the\u00a0jury will reduce the long list for the final top-10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
