RecAp Winter Summit 2024

RecAp Winter Summit 2024!

A Night of Innovation at La Gare 27 in Antwerp

For the first time ever, the Resilient Cities Accelerator Program (RecAp) hosted its annual summit in a truly unique setting—a nightclub. La Gare 27 in Antwerp became the backdrop for an unforgettable evening where cutting-edge ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) solutions took center stage.

The summit was not just another industry event; it was a convergence of innovation, sustainability, and business acumen. Attendees had the exclusive opportunity to witness pitches from 10 of the most promising ESG startups. These companies are revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable urban development, with solutions that seamlessly blend environmental responsibility with financial viability.

In addition to the startup pitches, the event featured insightful discussions from leading construction and real estate corporations. These industry giants shared their visions for integrating ESG principles with financial performance, even in times of crisis. It was a powerful reminder that sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive, but rather, mutually reinforcing.

A Night to Remember

The RecAp Winter Summit 2024 was more than just a showcase of innovation; it was a testament to the resilience and creativity of those working to build a sustainable future. Held in a vibrant and unconventional venue, the event brought together visionary thinkers, industry leaders, and passionate entrepreneurs in a celebration of what’s possible when we push the boundaries of what’s possible in ESG.
