Still to be incorporated:

The current building-up of the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, on the site of the Philips Research center (NatLab). It is owned still by Philips, but the philosophy of "open innovation" means that other companies are being invited to come and share the Philips labs facilities (cleanroom etc). [1] (link to HTCE website). Should be coherently included at some point because this is an important technological focus in The Netherlands.

[edit] Things to add

I do not live far from Eindhoven. So if you want to know anything about Eindhoven, write it to me. Talk page User Dgb

"PSV Eindhoven is the major football (soccer) club in the city. Playing in the Philips Stadion it is the dominant club in the Dutch highest league after AFC Ajax Amsterdam, named Eredivisie."

According to results, PSV is much better then Ajax the last 5 years. Change it in: "PSV Eindhoven is the major football (soccer) club in the city. Playing in the Philips Stadion it is a dominant club in the Dutch highest league, named eredivisie." I guess someone from Amsterdam wrote it.

[edit] IPA name

We need also an IPA representation of the name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.8.6.23 (talk) 18:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC).
