How will the town of the future look?
 
To answer this question we put together ahead of the curve multinational companies, with the top 50 European innovators of the Makers Movement (a new wave of start-ups that uses technology to build DIY products), with forward-thinking policy makers and hands-on civil society. On the 20th June 2017, in Brussels, we will build the city of the future, showcasing how technology will reshape houses, hospitals, schools, vehicles, banks, buildings, factories, nutrition, energy, telecommunications and many other industries in the coming years.
