We're interested to learn what we remember of what buildings were occupied by Philips in relation to their media activities. Philips used to be a very large company and the Philips CD-i headquarters were located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. What can we still see of this in the streets?
I remember Philips Media Benelux was located at VB-9. In Eindhoven, all buildings had numbers that were related to its location. Complex V stands for Vredeoord, that was the name of the whole complex, located at the Boschdijk in Eindhoven. It was also the location of the headquarters of Philips as a whole at that time, before they moved in to Amsterdam. Building VB was the biggest, highest building, built on pillars which was pretty unique (a similar building we can still find at the TU/e (Technical University in Eindhoven). Philips Media Benelux was located at the 9th floor, possibly combined with other marketing and media activities.


I also remember Philips Media Systems was located on the same complex, in one of the buildings behind it, with the entrance at the Groenewoudseweg, more near the railroad and the Shell station. Iḿ not sure which building it was exactly, but perhaps one of you still knows when you the picture here.


One of the biggest third party developers on CD-i was Infogrames, which had their distribution office also in Eindhoven, to be exactly at the Parklaan 81. There's a security company located now, but it used to be property of Infogrames.
