👨🔬 Reporting live from #WCEF2024 ⚗ Thanks Winnie Poncelet from VLAIO promoting #LivingLabs where things can get messy and intuitive actions are jointly taken between a rich variety of stakeholders. Together with Vlaanderen Circulair 29 living labs have been set up in 2 years time, that's pretty impressive. ⛵ 🌊 These living labs are the ideal sailing boats for systemic innovation which is a bit like sailing our oceans: you know where you would like to go but the route is not too predictable and obstacles will be met, while keeping your eye on the horizon. Just don't hit an iceberg :-) #werkagenda #bioeconomie
