Future City where Technology and Design Coexist
科技与设计共生的未来城市
Abstract
Eindhoven, located in the southern Netherlands' North Brabant province, is one of Europe's leading tech hubs and smart cities. Forbes calls it "the most innovative city in the world, a world-class creative Silicon Valley." Eindhoven’s high-tech and design industries are interconnected, creating a powerful innovation ecosystem. The high-tech sector includes semiconductors, medical devices, smart hardware, and artificial intelligence, while the design industry spans product, interaction, and digital design.
Eindhoven’s success stems from the “triple helix” collaboration of government, businesses, and universities. The city focuses on creating a sustainable environment and public facilities that integrate design and technology in urban development, environmental management, and social services. This approach has led to industry-urban integration and a multi-dimensional innovation ecosystem. Eindhoven University of Technology plays a key role in driving industrial design and technological innovation, producing skilled talent and fostering progress through university-business partnerships.
Technological innovation in Eindhoven thrives through the "Brainport" initiative, promoting regional collaborations and the development of high-tech parks. This initiative has brought together global companies, research institutions, and startups, offering a platform for designers and engineers to quickly turn ideas into market applications. Companies like Philips provide significant opportunities for young talent, fueling the city’s continuous innovation.
Eindhoven’s design innovation is integrated with technology. Philips’ smart products revolutionized user experience, and Dutch Design Week showcases design-technology collaborations. The Strijp-S district supports both design and tech companies, facilitating creative industry growth. The GLOW Light Festival, a collaboration between the government, universities, labs, and businesses, not only attracts visitors but also highlights Eindhoven’s leadership in lighting technology and promotes cultural tourism.
Eindhoven’s industrial innovation centers on integrating design and technology. With cross-industry collaboration and sustainability, it fosters the coordinated growth of technology, design, and creativity, positioning the city as a prime example of a tech-driven innovation hub.
摘要
埃因霍温,位于荷兰南部的北布拉邦省,是欧洲领先的科技中心和智慧城市之一,被福布斯杂志称为“全世界最具创新精神的城市,世界级的创意硅谷”。埃因霍温的高科技产业与设计产业相互结合,形成了强大的产业创新生态。高科技产业包括半导体、医疗设备、智能硬件和人工智能等,而设计产业则涵盖产品设计、交互设计、数字设计等多个领域。
埃因霍温依靠政府、企业、大学合作的“三螺旋”模式,打造绿色舒适的生态环境和建设公共生活相关设施,将设计创意和科技融合应用于城市发展、环境治理以及社会服务等领域,逐渐实现产城融合,形成一个面向未来的多维创新生态系统。埃因霍温理工大学是推动城市工业设计和技术创新的核心力量,该大学培养了大量设计与工程领域的优秀人才,并且实施与校企合作项目和课程,促进了城市高质设计和技术的快速发展。
埃因霍温的科技产业创新得益于21个区域技术合作的“脑港”(Brainport)计划和高科技园区的建设,汇聚全球顶尖企业、研究机构和初创公司,给设计师和工程师提供从创意迅速到市场应用的转化平台,飞利浦等大企业为这些年轻人才提供了广阔的发展空间。这类的创新孵化器为埃因霍温带来了持续的创新力量,并促进了智能产品和可持续技术的快速落地。
其在设计产业上的创新是与科技深度融合。例如,飞利浦的智能产品设计,创新了用户体验和功能性设计;还有荷兰设计周展示前沿的设计与技术的跨界合作成果;政府改造的Strijp-S创意园,为设计和科技企业提供支持和创意产业提供合作展示的平台,促进了城市和设计创意产业的良性互动;最后,年度活动灯光节与政府、大学、实验室、企业深度合作,打造全行业产业创新平台,不仅成为城市反季节引客的有效手段,还展现了光之城在灯光技术的领先地位以及推动城市文化旅游的发展。
埃因霍温的产业创新模式以设计与科技的深度融合为核心,跨行业合作和可持续发展为特点,推动了科技、设计与创意产业的协调发展,展现了一座科技型创新设计城市的风貌。
