As the seat of the Dutch government (but not the official capitol city, which is Amsterdam), The Hague is also a worldwide political center, hosting more than 150 international organizations. The Hague is located near the coast of the North Sea, with the historic city center anchoring the city’s cultural life to this day.

Eindhoven lies to the south of the Netherlands, in the historic Brabant region. The city is a high-tech hub, with many biomedical, technology, and engineering companies calling Eindhoven home.
