Comment on Tell HN: Opening a New Hackerspace in the Netherlands

Comments

Nice to see this outside of the major tech hubs, Groningen, Drenthe and Zeeland all would benefit from more initiatives like these, congratulations!

As someone who is seeing the Netherlands as being a future home (my partner is Dutch) what areas would you consider to be the major tech hubs?

I'm imagining Amsterdam and Rotterdam are at the top. Any other places I might not know about?

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Delft, Eindhoven, the area around TU Twente, (there is a surprising amount of start-up activity there and it rarely makes the news).

The easiest way for any country to figure out where the tech hubs are is to look at where the technology oriented university campuses are located.

Delft (where TU Delft is), Eindhoven (ASML, Phillips)

Also the collegetowns like Utrecht, possibly Leiden and wherever Radboud is at. Why wouldnt your partner know about these?
