That’s why we are looking for entrepreneurs and businesses, eager to implement their viable smart society applications in the city of Ghent, Eindhoven or Brussels.
Got a great solution? Amaze us by showcasing your application, which can be implemented in musea, at festivals, sport events or even bell towers. Any kind of creative urban innovation is welcomed.
Don’t hesitate and receive up to 50k in funding!
