• Gilles Vanvolsem, Managing Director BGBC

• Caroline Deiteren, Directeur-Generaal Embuild Vlaanderen

A panel discussion based on exploring the ongoing challenges towards sustainable building. The criteria for the EU Taxonomy are set at the European level, with circular construction as a key pillar. How feasible is this? What additional conditions are necessary to apply circular building more broadly? Which construction principles are most viable for the coming years from a finance perspective? And will circular building become an asset strategy in the future?

Amongst others:

• Stéphan Sonneville, CEO Atenor
• Frederik Jacobs, CEO, CONIX RDBM Architects
• Marie De Laet, Manager Innovation & Sustainability Group Van Roey
• Kris Liesse, Head of Real Estate Finance ING Belgium

Residential area Komet Mechelen

Komet is a prime example of future-proof urban living, combining high residential quality with a central location and a well-designed public space. The site is entirely car-free and fossil-free. This project is being developed sustainably, including the use of 4,000 cubic meters of circular concrete. Sustainability is also a key focus in the way of living it promotes.

Speakers:

• Patrick Princen, Vice Mayor Mechelen
• Kurt Jacobs, CEO Jacobs Beton
