    Smart use of technology to boost vitality – Fontys, imec, TNO, Eindhoven University of Technology and Eindhoven Engine cooperate in the FITT and POWErFITTing programmes, forming a strong regional ecosystem. The common goal is to combine their extensive knowledge and experience to develop real-life, innovative and effective solutions to create a vital working environment.
