Europe excels at inventing the future but struggles to integrate it. In Brainport Eindhoven, breakthrough technologies collide with infrastructure limits, labour mismatches and institutional inertia. The Missing Middle reveals where innovation becomes friction — and where technological transitions are ultimately won or lost.
As much of today’s technology and economic news is framed through an American lens, Europe often appears hesitant, fragmented or slow.

But beneath that noise, a different story is emerging: Europe possesses a unique opportunity to renew its industrial strength, and the fashion and manufacturing industries provide a particularly compelling example.
