About this event

Business • Design

Dear Guests,

We are delighted that you are joining us, alongside many other leaders and experts, to

the Creative Industry Dialogue, taking place on October 23 at the Crowne Plaza in

Antwerp.

Across the Benelux, creativity is driving new frontiers in architecture, interior design,

and material innovation. As global supply chains and markets rapidly evolve, new

opportunities are emerging to connect Europe and Asia, particularly China, through

design, production, and shared sustainability goals. In this dynamic context, China and

Europe are working toward a more resilient and mutually supportive ecosystem.

This Dialogue aims to foster collaboration across the entire creative value chain. By

bringing together voices from design, architecture, product innovation, and materials

research, we hope to bridge creative vision with real-world supply chain

transformation. We believe that knowledge exchange, co-creation, and strategic

partnerships are essential to scaling sustainable living, both in the short term and for

generations to come.

The day begins with an inspiring briefing on current trends in design and

sustainability. This is followed by the Global Link & Match, a unique opportunity to

explore new markets and supply chain collaborations. In the afternoon, the Future

Design Table invites participants to envision what sustainable living could look like in

2035. These ideas will be captured and shared on a Vision Wall. We close the day with

networking and a hands-on session on international business communication, turning

ideas into actionable partnerships.

We look forward to meaningful conversations, bold ideas, and lasting impact.
