FTI Gent @ftigent
A thirst for technology. An appetite for innovation. A zest for life. In March 2024, FTI Gent cooked up quite a feast. Shall we do that again sometime? fti.gent Joined October 2023-

During FTI Gent, primary school pupils came up with a couple of bonkers and equally visionary inventions to make moving through the city more enjoyable. Missed it? The inventions will be on display at De Krook starting 13 May! comon.gent/expo
Last week, FTI Gent didn’t just take place inside Wintercircus. Together with MEDVIA and its CEO Ann Van Gysel, we also hosted a stage at inspire health&care – bringing together players from the world of healthcare and welfare at Flanders Expo.
One of the highlights of this past week was definitely The Expo by @ArcelorMittalBE – both an interactive trip down memory lane as a mesmerising foray into the future. 🔬
On today’s menu: bio-tech and lots of food. On the second day of The Summit, we didn’t just talk about how technology can help us to stay healthy, we also talked about the future challenges of the food industry, and about eating well/yummy while we’re at it.
Much of the innovation in Flanders revolves around health and bio tech. For two days, The Summit is bringing together (inter)national players from those fields to learn, get inspired, meet up and make plans. This was Day 1! fti.gent/en/the-summit
I'll be ON AIR! ✨ F. De Bosschere of @itpocket invited me for a 1-1 @ftigent. We'll be talking about how electrons and photons dance together on the rhythm of data, how to find your inner Tina (Turner) and my passion as a #steminist 📅19/03 at 08:00 👉bit.ly/3VnaYTz
Kicking off The Talks – our series of inspiring evening sessions – tonight at Wintercircus: international sleep experts Matthew Walker and Steven Laureys, mental resilience guru Elke Geraerts and IntelliProve founder Joeri Tulkens. fti.gent/en/the-talks
Over the past couple of days, we welcomed ministers and mayors, foodies and ravers, small kids and big kids, IT boys and IT girls, history buffs and science-fiction nerds, and about half a dozen superstar DJs. You want more? This week’s program at fti.gent.
We could not have imagined a better way to kick off FTI Gent AND breathe new life – fire even – in one of the city’s most iconic buildings. You were hot. You were burning. You were blazing. You were … Despacio. 🪩
Yesterday, we feasted on music from the past, food of the future and a spectacular stack of technology + innovation. Today, we got some more! We even just released a bunch of extra tickets for The Expo by ArcelorMittal – sold via fti.gent/en/the-expo or at the door!
What a day! What a party! Despacio, 2manydjs and James Murphy rolled out the disco soiree this Funky Town has been waiting for over ten years. Despacio was Love, Lust, Lips and Lots of Boogie. Tomorrow: day two of the world’s best sound system + party! fti.gent
The coolest! Trip on the epic EMS Synthi 100 at Despacio, where a host of electronic wizards are playing this iconic beast – on loan from Ghent University’s IPEM – inside the Wintercircus music club.
EXTRA! EXTRA! Didn’t manage to get tickets for The Expo by ArcelorMittal this weekend – our splashy mix of history, technology, art and wonder? Good news: we just added a bunch on Sunday! fti.gent/en/the-expo
Keep track of everything that’s happening at FTI Gent – back, front and centre stage – with Studio Shift, the hop-on + hop-off online radio station from In The Pocket! fti.gent/radio
Lift-off! For the next six days, Ghent will be at the centre of technology, innovation, health, inspiration and … fun! Still want to join the party? Act now or forever be sorry! fti.gent
Marathon season is upon us, with Rome, Berlin, Milan, London and Ghent (24 March) coming up. How to prepare? Get tickets for our evening session on Wednesday 20 March with American breathing expert James Nestor and Belgian ultrarunner Karel Sabbe! fti.gent/en/the-talks
Pieter Jacobs leads the Manufacturing Sciences & Technology division at Legend Biotech – a global trailblazer that saves cancer patients’ lives with personalized cell therapies. At The Summit, he talks about Leading Therapeutics Innovation. fti.gent/en/the-summit
Ask not how to heal but how to stay healthy. That’s how both GP Servaas Bingé and Professor Andrea B. Maier, co-founder of the first evidence-based Healthy Longevity Medicine Clinic in Singapore, feel about it. fti.gent/en/the-summit!
On Thursday 21 March, these two smart cookies will be discussing one hot potato! As part of The Talks, Michelin chef Olly Ceulenaere (Publiek) and biologist Maxime Willems (Proef) delve into The Future of Our Flemish Classics. fti.gent/en/the-talks
Don’t like Mondays? Get tickets for the Despacio afterparty on Sunday 17 March and just ignore the day after for as long as you can! There to help: crossfire DJ Vlada’s hypnotic basslines, Tsepo’s spaced-out breaks and Timmerman’s deep house cuts. fti.gent/en/tickets
