The TOPFIT Event: Working together

On June 21, 2022, TOPFIT (TechMed) organizes the first edition of The TOPFIT Event, in De Gasfabriek in Deventer. We are going to work on our common goal: to ensure that residents of the east of the Netherlands stay fit and healthy for longer. We get to know each other better, delve into the various TOPFIT programs and explore opportunities to respond to subsidy options. We brainstorm about concrete initiatives and look at how we can make the results of projects available to the Eastern Netherlands. We do this through a varied programme with interactive workshops, opportunities to network and a sporty surprise.
