With the MBO excellence program Health Tech, which Innovatiecluster Drachten runs together with Friesland College and ROC's Friese Poort, the cooperating high-tech companies have won the title FC Learning Company of the Year. This happened during the finals of the FC Awards 2018 in Leeuwarden. According to chairman Kor Visscher (Innovatiecluster Drachten), this appreciation is mainly due to the efforts of both courses. ,,It helps us jointly build solid foundations for the future. Often this does not go without saying, with our short-term focus. All the more wonderful is that together with the MBO programs we have set up a successful excellence program Health Tech.”
