Planning next year\u2019s budget with the same goals and results? No go! In product development too, standing still means falling behind. But how do you take that first step?<\/em><\/p>\n

Innovation starts with a fresh perspective and a healthy dose of curiosity\u2014and you won\u2019t find that behind your desk. Get out there, discover new ideas, and get inspired to start innovating yourself!<\/p>\n

On May 21 and 22<\/strong>, you are warmly invited to Advanced Engineering<\/strong> at Flanders Expo Ghent<\/strong>. More than 90 exhibitors are ready to support you in developing your product, device, or machine. From concept development and design to engineering, prototyping, testing, and selecting components and electronics\u2014you\u2019ll find it all here!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How will Belgian AI and deepfake technology reinvent the entertainment sector? How do you add Vision AI<\/strong> to your machine for faster, more efficient automation? And how do you use this technology responsibly<\/strong>? AI<\/strong> runs like a thread throughout the program. Experts like Jo Plaete (CIO \u2013 Metaphysic.ai), Jonathan Berte (CEO \u2013 Robovision), Flanders Make, The Beacon, Dewi Van de Vyver (CEO \u2013 Effex) and Karen Boers (MD \u2013 FARI) will share their insights on the main stage.<\/p>\n

Sustainability has become indispensable in product design. At the renowned Henry Van de Velde Awards, it\u2019s barely mentioned anymore\u2014because it’s now a given. Time for the next step: circular design<\/strong>! The Circular Hub, Prof. Karine van Doorsselaer, Dominiek Plancke (CEO \u2013 ETAP Lighting) and several design agencies will share their best practices.<\/p>\n

Looking to save time and resources after concept development<\/strong>? Then 3D printing<\/strong> offers the perfect solution for prototyping<\/strong>. But does it stop there? Or can this technology take on a permanent role in your production process? Radhika Dhuru from Materialise shares her vision.
And what if we didn\u2019t need physical materials at all? Virtual prototyping<\/strong> is on the rise. Is it just a hype or the future of how we work? Alexandra Gerard (General Manager at United XR Europe) and XR Valley will shed light on this promising technology.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To help secure a technological future, we are committing as an organization to becoming a friend of Flanders Technology International (FTI). Every child deserves the chance to discover and develop their passion for STEM.<\/p>\n

Together with the visitors and exhibitors at the fair, we\u2019re doing our part by donating STEM workshops, shows, and activity boxes. This way, we\u2019re helping ensure that the STEM talent of our youth can flourish.<\/p>\n

Let yourself be inspired\u2014and then get to work innovating! Register today<\/strong> for a free visit to Advanced Engineering and take your products, devices, or machines to the next level.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
