With the establishment of Holst Centre in 2006 by imec (Belgium) and TNO (Netherlands), expertise in wireless sensor technologies and flexible electronics was brought under one roof at the High Tech Campus Eindhoven. The sharing of specific knowledge in an open structure, makes it possible to align research and innovation with societal issues in the fields of health & vitality, energy & climate and mobility & industry 5.0. To help solve those societal challenges, Holst Centre connects the Dutch Brainport region with a global ecosystem of industrial and academic partners. Using the expertise, knowledge and technologies of TNO and imec, technological innovations are developed so that the partner companies can take them to the market. Holst Centre now has over 200 employees.
