Economy

Economically, the town of Ede is doing fairly well thanks to the proximity of major highways and railways which offer fast connections to the port city of Rotterdam, the airport of Schiphol and the Ruhr Area in the country of Germany. The main sources of employment used to be a factory belonging to the Dutch Enka company and the three military bases situated in the northeast of the town. The factory however, has been closed and the military bases are largely underused ever since the conscription was abolished. The town's economy is lately becoming more focused on national tourism from the more densely populated western cities like Amsterdam and Den Haag, on education such as local colleges and the large Wageningen University in the city of Wageningen.

Social life

Socially, Ede is a common town like any other in the Netherlands, with perhaps up to 40% Christian people in the town. Each year, there is a municipality-wide celebration lasting a week called Heideweek (Week of the heather) which lasts a week and largely involves traditional Dutch festivities, along with local customs. During the week, a Heidekoningin (Queen of the heather) and a Heideprinses (Princess of the heather) are elected from several candidates and will be the representative for the municipality of Ede on various other festivities, until next year when another Heidekoningin and Heideprinses are elected.
