As usual, every year in September the ACCENTA annual fair takes place. Flanders Expo in Ghent opens his impressive halls for the general public. Within the margins of these projects, a lot of activities will take place.
‘Flanders Inspiration & Innovation’ will take place for the 6th time. This annual project about science, creativity and innovation highlights each year a theme that will be put in the spotlights during the whole event. Almost a complete hall of Flanders Expo will be transformed into a huge Science Village. This year we will focus on ‘Innovation in Mobility’.
As from 18h00
Flanders Expo, Ghent
This evening offers entrepreneurs in mobility a unique opportunity to be informed by famous core figures about how important entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation are in the (extensive) mobility sector. Also talented youngsters and spin-offs will present themselves and their new projects.
