Flemish Minister of Mobility and Public Works Lydia Peeters, together with Mayor of Vilvoorde Hans Bonte, inaugurated the first four 350 kW ultra-fast charging points of Europe’s largest high-power charging network IONITY on the Brussels Ring on the innovation campus of Living Tomorrow. Anyone can come and fully charge their electric car in around 15 minutes at these charging points – a collaboration of Living Tomorrow participants IONITY and ABB. “With this Living Tomorrow is taking an important step in the direction of the future of electric driving and as one of the major Hoppin points or transport nodal points of the future in order to improve mobility in the Flemish Periphery”, said Minister Peeters.
To help the construction industry grow we must take a step back
Building the home of the future also means looking into the future of the construction industry. Frederik Vaes (UAU Collectiv) and Bart Thijs, two architects behind our new ‘Living Tomorrow’ campus, see several important developments. “The soaring prices of energy and building materials and the importance of sustainability are forcing us to look beyond the latest gadgets and attractive design”, they say.
