三、经济发展和规模
It is going well with the economy of Brabant and Eindhoven. Not Amsterdam or Rotterdam, but the city of light has the fastest growing economy of all major cities in the Netherlands. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the economy of Eindhoven grew by 4.6% in 2017. This growth is, just like in 2016, the strongest of the five largest cities in the Netherlands. The Dutch economy had an average growth of 2.9% in 2017.
The high-tech sector in Eindhoven was the major factor in this economic growth. It created a faster growth in Eindhoven than in the other four cities in the Netherlands. In addition, the province of Brabant had an above-average growth of 3.7%.
The Eindhoven region is the pioneer of the Dutch economy, said President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem during the new year’s reception of the Brainport region in the Evoluon.
四、产业特点/重点项目
Today, Eindhoven is the fifth-largest city in the Netherlands, with a population of about 212,000, almost a third of whom are foreigners. It is still home to Philips, which is now a multinational electronics corporation, and has made the city a major technology hub.
According to the former Minister of Finance Eindhoven shows with clear figures that it is at the forefront. After all, the economy has been growing harder in the region than in the rest of the country for a few years. Furthermore, the good cooperation between industry, research institutes and Governments in the region are an important basis to fulfill that pioneering role, Dijsselbloem said.
Because of the importance of the Eindhoven region, Dijsselbloem prefers to mention the G5 of The Netherlands instead of the G4, the cooperation between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. ‘In the Hague I say that Eindhoven fits in that list. That is based on the size of the economy, and on the number of international companies that establishes here. Eindhoven just belongs to the small row of top cities in The Netherlands.’
ING calculated that Eindhoven is expected to grow by 4.6 percent in 2018. Dijsselbloem stressed that that success also has a downside: ‘The problem is whether you have enough people to fill in all vacancies out there. With this growth there will be thousands more every year and some of them will have to come from abroad. And you will need to ensure that people who are now on the sideline, will be involved.’
Dijsselbloem hopes that the new Cabinet will invest a lot more in the Eindhoven region. ‘The facilities in the field of culture, sports and education should be better, in order to be able to lift on that huge growth’.
Eindhoven will be one of the first cities in the Netherlands to test out the mobile 5G network. The Municipality has made deals with VodafoneZiggo and Ericsson for this purpose.
5G for ambulances, music concerts
Catharina Hospital is one of the places that has already indicated that they would like to make use of this 5G test frequency. With fast 5G connections during journeys of an ambulance, the hospital can offer “remote assistance”. The staff at the hospital can help diagnose and prepare the patient for treatment. The High Tech Campus is also a test location. There, companies will use this ultra-fast connection when testing all kinds of innovative prototypes.
At the Philips Stadium, the performance of football players will be tested. This will be done from a self-chosen field of vision with 5G-360-degree cameras. And for the Eindhoven music venue, Effenaar, there are plans for people to be able to virtually attend a pop concert ‘live’, with the help of the 5G technology
This 5G test comes as a result of the Brainport Action Agenda. This agenda is a group of action plans designed to strengthen the business climate of the high-tech Eindhoven region.

六、历史文化
Where did the name ‘Eindhoven’ come from? It could simply mean ‘boundary of a settlement’ which comes from the old Germanic Frankish or Middle Dutch languages. Eindhoven could also be derived from the contraction of the regional words “eind” (meaning last or end) and “hove” (meaning yard or ground) .
Chartered in 1232, Eindhoven was granted city rights and trade privileges by Henry I Duke of Brabant. The city was well placed between, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Liège and Antwerp in Belgium. The Duke of Brabant had political ambitions to develop the city and local farmers were obliged to sell their produce at the Eindhoven market. The city grew to one hundred and seventy houses between the Emmasingel, Keizersgracht, Wal en Vestdijk and was enclosed by a rampart or defensive wall .
By 1419 Eindhoven was a fort with a castle on the corner of the Vestdijk and what is now Ten Hagestraat. During a battle with the “Geldersen” in 1486, all municipal documents were lost in a massive fire that devastated the entire city. Only six houses on the Grote Berg, outside of the city walls were spared.
The city was rebuilt with taxes and went on to survive the plague, several wars and another fire in 1543.
Three hundred years later factories producing cigars and textiles replaced farming during the Industrial Revolution. But the real boom began when Philips founded their first light bulb factory in the city in 1891. By the early twentieth century Philips and ‘Hub van Doorne’s Machinefabriek’ now known as DAF Trucks were responsible for the growth and wealth of Eindhoven.The population grew to 46,000 and by 1920 the former vilages of Woensel, Stratum, Gestel, Strijp and Tongelre were annexed and became local districts.
People spoke of Great-Eindhoven from then on and urban expansion meant houses, schools and hospitals had to be built. Many culture and leisure facilities were established including ‘Stadswandelpark’ (city park) and the Van Abbe Museum (1936). On January 1st, 1940 the city already had 113,126 inhabitants.
During World War II Nazi Germany occupied Eindhoven and Philips factory was forced to supply Germany with electronic valves and radar equipment. On 6th December 1942 Eindhoven was under attack again but this time by British Air Force Mosquito bombers and unfortunately 148 civilians died. Large-scale air raids during Operation Market Garden to aid the US 101st Airborne Division paratroopers in securing the bridges on 18 September 1944, destroyed large parts of Eindhoven .
After the war traditional industries disappeared to be replaced by decades of success at Philips and DAF. When DAF Trucks went bankrupt in 1993 and Philips Headquarters left Eindhoven in 1997, Eindhoven seemed economically doomed. Eindhoven had to reinvent itself and build upon its legacy and reputation.
Brainport Eindhoven Region with new High Tech industries, R&D development, High Tech Campus, TU/e, the University of Technology and the renowned Design Academy Eindhoven have created a new future.
Today Eindhoven is the city of technology and the fifth largest city in The Netherlands..

The Hub Eindhoven for Expats
The idea has come up to realise an actual place where everyone can get together and events can be organised. The organisation behind this idea is The Hub Eindhoven for Expats, founded for this one and only goal: an international community center in the city of Eindhoven, where people and organizations can meet each other and where activities can be organized for and by you to make your life a little easier! Eindhoven-Life is closely involved in this initiative and we're looking forward to hear your ideas and feedback about this. Some plans that have already been mentioned to take place in 'The Hub' are: educational courses, music sessions, workshops, cultural dances, art classes, games and reading afternoons for mothers and children and many more. The centre is going to be an open place, where everyone can walk in, the language will be English and the center will be run by international volunteers
Natuurmonumenten (Nature’s Monuments) recently concluded a National Garden Survey. It shows that 81% of the participants want to to give nature a helping hand.
Almost 44 000 people have taken part in the Natuurmonumenten survey so far. This large number shows that ‘the green garden’ is very topical, which is good news for Mother Nature. More than 56,000 hectares of land in the Netherlands are private gardens. So, if these are used more naturally, many plants and animals will benefit.
