Innovfest 2.0
Mechelen , Belgium
Six different clusters, but one common goal: stimulate innovation in companies! During InnovFest 2.0, we will immerse you in a world of change, made possible by these spearhead clusters and realised by the Flemish business community. The entire ecosystem will be covered during the event.
In Flanders, there are six sectors of strategic importance for the region: food, logistics, healthcare, energy, chemicals and the marine sector. For each of these sectors, there is one cluster that is recognised as the main focal point by the Flemish government. These clusters act as central hubs for each of the aforementioned sectors and play a crucial role in stimulating innovation, cooperation and growth within their respective domains.
Clusters play an essential role in the innovation landscape as facilitators, matchmakers, influencers, grant advisers, bridge builders, need detectors, project implementers and knowledge sharers.
During InnovFest 2.0, we will immerse you in a world of change, made possible by these spearhead clusters and realised by the Flemish business community. The entire ecosystem will be covered during the event.
