Urban developer Hans van Rossum (Realconomy)
Designers Kiki&Joost

Welcome to the Eindhoven Innovation Café. Join us to discuss the future vision of our city over drinks and networking, featuring Urban Developer Hans van Rossum (Realconomy) and Designers Kiki&Joost.

 

We are also excited to announce that Eindhoven start-up and 2024 Gerard & Anton Award winner, Dembrane, will be present with their advanced software. They promise that all voices will be heard and no good idea will be lost. A great start for this democratic process, don’t you think?

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of the conversation and contribute to the future of Eindhoven!

Our city is growing fast and the world is facing huge challenges. This is the moment to connect the superpowers of our regional ecosystems. What can we envision to ensure an attractive and enduring habitat for future generations? Which experiments and prototypes are needed to stay a step ahead? What can we learn from other cities?

Special Guests

Urban Developer Hans van Rossum – Realconomy
For Hans van Rossum, urban development is about building the social city together. This involves economic, environmental, and socio-cultural improvements. He focuses on creating areas where living, working, and relaxing blend together naturally, making them desirable places for diverse lifestyles. By collaborating across public and private sectors in various area developments, he demonstrates that this vision is not just possible but achievable.
Designers Kiki van Eijk and & Joost van Bleiswijk – Kiki&Joost
World-renowned Eindhoven-based designers Kiki van Eijk and Joost van Bleiswijk have been pioneering in emerging urban areas, such as Strijp-S and Strijp-T, since the beginning of their careers. They developed a plan for a creative cluster on the Kanaaldijk, which should be beneficial to the creative ecosystem rather than to investors. In the future, this area will also be home to Design Academy Eindhoven.
