#philips amsterdam

Our week-long trip to the Netherlands brought us to the homeland of Philips and showed us the roots of Dutch technology and innovation. In what used to be a small town of Eindhoven, the place has been transformed into a huge and beautiful industrial city many of which (actually in the thousands) are long-time employees of Philips. The Evoluon is a conference centre and former science museum erected by the electronics and electrical company Philips in Eindhoven, Netherlands in 1966. Philips CEO Frans van Houten, in his keynote speech here at the Evoluon Center, talked about the many innovations of Philips since it was founded here in Eindhoven in 1891. Philips is taking bold steps to meet these needs. Last week, we made the historic announcement that Philips is going to transform into two strong and focused companies: one focused on the HealthTech opportunity, the other on Lighting solutions. - Frans van Houten, CEO, Philips Today, Philips is very strong in various areas such as lighting, health care, and consumer lifestyle (although it has been announced earlier that they will independently run the lighting division soon). Perhaps the most visible Philips products is the consumer electronics and lighting category, while some of it were already sold to various companies (like the TV which is no longer operated by Philips but still uses the Philips brand).
