During FTI Gent, primary school pupils came up with a couple of bonkers and equally visionary inventions to make moving through the city more enjoyable. Missed it? The inventions will be on display at De Krook starting 13 May! comon.gent/expo
Last week, FTI Gent didn’t just take place inside Wintercircus. Together with MEDVIA and its CEO Ann Van Gysel, we also hosted a stage at inspire health&care – bringing together players from the world of healthcare and welfare at Flanders Expo.
One of the highlights of this past week was definitely The Expo by @ArcelorMittalBE – both an interactive trip down memory lane as a mesmerising foray into the future. 🔬
On today’s menu: bio-tech and lots of food. On the second day of The Summit, we didn’t just talk about how technology can help us to stay healthy, we also talked about the future challenges of the food industry, and about eating well/yummy while we’re at it.
Much of the innovation in Flanders revolves around health and bio tech. For two days, The Summit is bringing together (inter)national players from those fields to learn, get inspired, meet up and make plans. This was Day 1! fti.gent/en/the-summit
Kicking off The Talks – our series of inspiring evening sessions – tonight at Wintercircus: international sleep experts Matthew Walker and Steven Laureys, mental resilience guru Elke Geraerts and IntelliProve founder Joeri Tulkens. fti.gent/en/the-talks
Over the past couple of days, we welcomed ministers and mayors, foodies and ravers, small kids and big kids, IT boys and IT girls, history buffs and science-fiction nerds, and about half a dozen superstar DJs. You want more? This week’s program at fti.gent.
We could not have imagined a better way to kick off FTI Gent AND breathe new life – fire even – in one of the city’s most iconic buildings. You were hot. You were burning. You were blazing. You were … Despacio. 🪩
Yesterday, we feasted on music from the past, food of the future and a spectacular stack of technology + innovation. Today, we got some more! We even just released a bunch of extra tickets for The Expo by ArcelorMittal – sold via fti.gent/en/the-expo or at the door!
What a day! What a party! Despacio, 2manydjs and James Murphy rolled out the disco soiree this Funky Town has been waiting for over ten years. Despacio was Love, Lust, Lips and Lots of Boogie. Tomorrow: day two of the world’s best sound system + party! fti.gent
