Festival of Disruption

Are you ready to disrupt the status quo and tackle the world’s most complex challenges? Join with us to take up today's wicked problems, such as energy transition, preventive health and inclusive society. Bring your expertise and collaborate with us to turn multifaceted, complex, and ever-changing ‘wicked problems’ into sustainable, impactful solutions.

Currently, Eindhoven Engine focuses on the following four wicked problems:

• Inclusive Society
  Bridging the gap for the 2.5 million people in the Netherlands who lack basic skills.
• Livable Region
  Tackling the energy transition and ensuring access to electricity for everyone.
• Future-Proof Care
  Rethinking healthcare with an emphasis on prevention and vitality.
• Sustainable Semicon
  Innovating in circularity and reducing CO2 emissions in industries.
  

We start by making these problems understandable and then transform them into sustainable, impactful solutions. We always use technology with a purpose, and our solutions are co-created with those experiencing the problems.
