A visit to Strijp-S begins at Braintours with an informative and inspiring presentation. During this presentation, we’ll take you on a journey through the story behind this unique area.
We begin with the founding of Philips in Eindhoven and the enormous impact the company has had on the city’s development. Strijp-S played a crucial role in this as a self-contained industrial estate where innovation and production were central for many years.
Following the major reorganisations, including the well-known rounds of redundancies, a turning point arrived. The site lost its original function, the property was sold and given a new purpose. What was once a closed industrial area gradually transformed into the creative and dynamic heart of Brainport Eindhoven.
From industry to innovation
Today, Strijp-S is a unique place where living, working and creativity come together. Start-ups, creative entrepreneurs, culture and technology reinforce one another, making the area an inspiring environment for businesses and visitors alike.
The story behind the transformation
One of the key figures behind this development was Sietske Aussems. She was involved in the transformation of Strijp-S from the very beginning and worked tirelessly on the development of the area until 2019.
Through her company, Braintours Eindhoven, she brings this story to life. Thanks to her experience and dedication, you’ll not only learn the facts, but above all gain an understanding of the context and significance of this unique place.
