When Matador Network writes about โHollandโs Design Cityโ, you know for sure that thereโs a new nomination coming up: Eindhoven is, according to the platform, one of the top 10 creative hubs outside the United States. For clarity: the list has no status, but oh well, itโs always good to see that โourโ message comes across.
โEindhoven is an excellent choice for creativesโ, the platform states. With a reason. As proof of that, reporter Yulia Denisyuk comes with a list of big upcoming events: The Go Wild Music Festival, Dream and Dare, Dutch Technology Week, Dutch Design Week and Glow. In fact, these festivals contribute to making the city โhas recently been attracting creatives of all typesโ.
Of course Strijp-S also comes along, as is restaurant De Kazerne, โa first of its kind expo restaurant in the city center, where guests are exposed to works of design, experimentation, and art, while enjoying dinner and drinks.โ Very different creativity Yulia has found at the High Tech Campus, โhome to several restaurant concepts and shops and serves as communityโs resource for budding entrepreneurs.โ
Matador is, in its own words, the worldโs largest independent travel publisher, with 12 million unique visitors per month. Which helps Eindhoven to get some new attention. Hereโs the complete list:
- Santiago
