The region is considered the industrial and technological mainstay of the Netherlands. 50% of the Dutch research & development expenditure occurs in this region. A large number of high-tech enterprises, including the multinational Philips Electronics group, Océ, ASML, DAF, DSM and the Philips High-Tech Campus are situated next to the renowned Philips Research. It is an attractive location in a natural environment that is close to the Randstad (Amsterdam-Rotterdam), the industrial Ruhr area in Germany, and the European business centers of Antwerp and Brussels. There is direct connections to the European road system and the European railway network, and there are European direct flights to Eindhoven Airport.
