About this Event
<h4>Get ready to be inspired – Join us at the Festival of Disruption!</h4>


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.


<h5>“Wicked problems demand impactful solutions—let’s co-create a future where innovation meets purpose.”</h5>

During the Festival of Disruption

  • Keynote by Heleen de Coninck

Heleen de Coninck is professor of Socio-Technical Innovation and Climate Change at TU/e and will deliver an inspiring keynote focused on the balance between the technical and social dimensions of energy transition.
As a leading climate expert, Heleen will demonstrate how technological innovation must go hand in hand with an understanding of societal dynamics to create real progress in the shift toward sustainable energy systems.

  • Hands-on Workshops

Get ready for disruptive, thought-provoking workshops that will empower you to tackle wicked problems head-on. Details coming soon—stay tuned!

  • Real-World Impact

Learn how we co-create solutions with the very people who live these problems, using tech as a tool for meaningful change.


<h4>What you will gain</h4>

  • Enhance your awareness around impact, meaning and the positive role that tech can play
  • Develop your agile innovation skills and business model innovation
  • Become comfortable in the complexity of our current world, in order to develop your capacity to solve wicked problems
