Technology and physiotherapy come together in a new partnership between JOHAN Sports and Pro-F Physiotherapy. By using the advanced PACER system, athletes can now be better monitored, and their recovery process improved. This partnership aims to set a new standard in athlete support and physiotherapy, helping them safely and effectively return to their original performance levels.

Boost for Medical, Biotechnological, and Pharmaceutical Research. Technology developer and manufacturer Demcon acquired a majority stake in Orgonex at the end of last year. The spin-off from Utrecht University / the Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies (ICAT) has developed a bioreactor for cultivating organoids. Organoids are miniature organs used for medical, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical research. Orgonex's bioreactor yields five times higher than traditional manual cultivation methods and is more compact and straightforward than other automated cultivation solutions. This system offers an accessible solution for efficiently cultivating sufficient organoids and can be easily integrated into existing laboratory infrastructures at academic research groups and pharmaceutical companies. Together with Demcon, Orgonex is now developing the bioreactor into a professional system that will be launched later this year.

Today, 64 companies and (knowledge) organisations from the Dutch chip industry present their innovation program to the Dutch Minister Beljaarts of Economic Affairs. The sector aims to further strengthen the strong position that the Netherlands holds globally in semiconductors. After all, international developments in the semiconductor industry are advancing rapidly.

Monitoring heart rate is a vital aspect of optimizing performance and recovery in athletes. While many performance coaches already track external load using GPS sensors, monitoring internal load via heart rate data remains one of the few objective and practical methods to understand how a player's body responds to intensive training and matches.
