Micro- and nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, design thinking, robotics, novel manufacturing technologies and big data have made major impacts across all industries, but perhaps their greatest potential impact will be in health and life sciences. Combined with ever-growing biological insights and discoveries, resulting innovations will enable amazing applications that can make personalized medicine a reality.
We will present testimonies of roads travelled and lessons learned from pioneering researchers, entrepreneurs and first application movers. There will be keynote speakers and you can attend thematic sessions covering cross-over innovations in personalized medicine within Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia), our neighboring countries and space. Product show cases, posters and matchmaking (B2Match) will also be part of the program.

• Meet international partners and experts
• Discover Flanders’ technology communities in, amongst others, life sciences, health, micro- and nanotechnology and space
