In order to play a role in high tech on a global scale it is important to co-operate where possible. The Rathenau Institute calls for more coordination between the various Dutch research centers, in order to keep the competitive advantage our country has (see report "R&D goes Global"). Campuses that are active in the same topic area (such as high tech or food) can best align their strategic and operational choices according to the survey.Such cooperation is already in place for the two Eindhoven campuses according to Bert-Jan Woertman (marketing director High Tech Campus Eindhoven) and Steef Blok (director Innovation Lab TU/e). Blok: "Our common goal is to make the region flourish. The TU/e focuses on the startup campus, while HTCE focuses on the growing techno businesses. One example is Smart Photonics, a TU/e spin-off that is (also) located on the HTCE. Smart Photonics can best grow there so why would we as shareholders keep this company on the TU/e campus? "
