Smart workforce solutions for a growing Brainport region
The Brainport region is gearing up for an impressive economic and technological development. The potential expansion of ASML in Eindhoven at the Brainport Industries Campus (BIC Noord) will create space for 20,000 additional jobs and over 428,000 m² of production and office space. This expansion is not only a driver of innovation but also strengthens the strategic autonomy of the Netherlands and Europe. While the region may be experiencing a slight dip at the moment, everything indicates that significant growth is just around the corner.
According to alderman Stijn Steenbakkers in an article published in Eindhovens Dagblad, this development is crucial for a sustainable, high-tech future. He emphasizes a deliberate choice for a new economy, focused on innovation and global solutions.

Talent shortages as a brake on growth
The growth of organizations like ASML raises an important question: where will the region find 20,000 extra skilled professionals?
According to the Brainport Monitor 2023, more than a third of companies in the region already experience a shortage of qualified staff — significantly above the national average. And the outlook is clear: by 2032, the tech and IT sectors will see another 52,000+ jobs added.
On top of that, the housing market is under immense pressure. Attracting employees is already a challenge, but arranging housing is equally complex. For companies like ASML — and all the related businesses in the semiconductor industry — it is therefore essential to start thinking now about sustainable, strategic workforce solutions.
Regional growth calls for an international perspective
At WorldEmp, we see these challenges daily among our clients in the region. Not just ASML, but many other companies in the Brainport area are running into increasing bottlenecks in the labor market. The truth is, we simply won’t solve this with local resources alone.
The reality is that the available talent in the Netherlands is insufficient to keep up with the pace of growth. That’s why it’s essential to look beyond Dutch borders.
An international approach to workforce challenges
For companies in the high-tech sector, where expertise and scalability are crucial, leveraging remote teams is a smart solution.
Remote teams make businesses more agile. You gain access to talent that you cannot find locally — while maintaining control over quality and costs.
Benefits of remote work for high-tech companies
- Access to scarce talent worldwide
- More continuity and flexibility, even during demand peaks and dips
- Growth goals remain achievable without relying solely on the tight local market
- Less pressure on the housing market and lower operational costs
