How do we design cities that truly live, breathe, and evolve?
In this FTI Brussel Business Track, you will discover how Brussels is leading the way in Europe's sustainable transition: where climate action, the circular economy, and digital innovation come together to make city life greener, smarter, and more people-centered.
In the morning the program consists of keynotes, pitches and panels, that push the boundaries between science, innovation and application. In addition, you will enjoy a lunch and networking session with your peers: the perfect moment for your next partnership or big idea. In the afternoon you get the opportunity to visit VUB laboratories behind the scenes during a Fast Track.
