\n\t\tConference themes focused on breakthrough innovations\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t7 societal challenges and 5 cross-cutting themes\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

G-STIC 2019 initiated the process of building a living library of breakthrough technological solutions that contribute to 6 societal challenges. This living library, illustrated with best practices and inspiring examples, will be indispensable for policymakers developing\u00a0Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) roadmaps\u00a0for the SDGs. At the same time, captains of industry can use this library for\u00a0exploring new business opportunities.<\/p>\n

G-STIC 2020 will take the next steps to further develop this living library and craft a framework of scientifically underpinned assessment criteria. This framework aims to assist governments and corporations in benchmarking the transformative potential of technological innovations. It is one of the key contributions G-STIC can provide to the Agenda 2030 community to help accelerate the deployment of market-ready integrated technological solutions.<\/p>\n\t\n\t \"Climate\"\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tBrussels\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe capital of Belgium, the heart of Europe\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t

Apart from being the centre of European politics, Brussels has a fascinating history that dates back to the 11th century. The city of Brussels has evolved countless times throughout history but some of its historic monuments, buildings and streets still exist today. Throughout the ages, Brussels city has been the home of kings and the hub of activity for trade and enterprise from porcelain to tapestries. To this day, you can still see the outline of the original city walls built into the modern cityscape.<\/p>\n

In 1830, Brussels became the capital of Belgium. It is now one of the most international cities in the world. It’s a capital that\u2019s relaxed and comfortable, as much in its history as in its present-day reality.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tTour & Taxis\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA genuine masterpiece of civil engineering\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t

A large formerly industrial site near the canal of Brussels, Tour & Taxis has the charm of the industrial era. The immensity of the main building, the Royal Warehouse and its incredible architecture are worth a glance. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, this former industrial site was then a key place of the Brussels thriving economy. Since 2001, it welcomes companies, shops, restaurants, trade fairs and cultural events – providing a unique urban experience, all under one roof.<\/p>\n

The Tour & Taxis sheds were built between 1903 and 1904 and cover more than 17,410 square meters. From the platforms alongside, where trains deposited their goods, you can admire the astonishing self-supporting steel framework, displaying a technical prowess unique in the world. Thanks to the glazing with which it is covered, the sawtooth roof evenly spreads natural light.<\/p>\n\t
