This is a high detail aerial plan of "High Tech Campus Eindhoven." The Campus encompasses 103 hectares (255 acres), over 90 different companies and more than 7,000 people. The Campus has developed into a dynamic mix of techno start-ups, SMEs, service companies, technology institutes, and multinationals. Together they are working on developing the technologies and products of tomorrow. The preferred work approach at the Campus is "Open Innovation," meaning the Campus companies share knowledge, skills, and R&D facilities — in the tradition of the original NatLab — such as laboratories, cleanrooms, and equipment in order to achieve faster, better, and mroe customer-oriented innovation. Up to 1998, the NatLab was the sole occupant of this terrain. The headquarters of the Philips Company was moved to Amsterdam in 2001 and the company was renamed Koninklijke Philips Electronis N.V. The road at the lower left is Holstlaan, named after Gilles Holst, the founder of NatLab; it leads from downtown Eindhoven (behind the viewer). The view is southwest.
