Opening of the Dutch TechMed centre, a hotspot for healthcare innovation

The opening took place as part of the celebrations of the UT’s 58th anniversary and it proves that UT has its sights firmly set on the future: in his speech, Rector Thom Palstra stressed that TechMed is an important field for health care innovation. Moreover, it is key for personalized medicine, people-first technology and, in a wider sense, for optimism in science.
