19-06-2025
To make trailblazing innovations happen, perspectives from academia, entrepreneurs and policy makers need to come together. This became almost tangible at the NWO Innovation Festival TEKNOWLOGY, which took place on June 19th 2025 at De Fabrique in Utrecht. Participants with academic, entrepreneurial and policy backgrounds got together at this network event to connect and get inspired. There were more than 30 speakers in plenary and parallel sessions, highlighting topics ranging from ‘the future of sustainable air mobility solutions’ to ‘a stronger innovation ecosystem’ and ‘technology and the current geopolitics’. At the innovation market, 46 demonstrators showcased innovations in a variety of domains, among which ‘energy and sustainability’ and ‘smart materials and processes’. The positive energy felt at TEKNOWLOGY illustrates the benefits from accelerating research and innovation.
