On 8 November BiELAt Foundation organizes the first Future Sketch event in the high-tech region of Eindhoven, Leuven and Aachen. Ten companies will take the challenge to look for responses to strategic questions and map the needed ecosystems. The future sketch will lead to new business cases and promotes cooperation between different parties in this high-tech region.

What kind of strategic challenges does the future have in store for me? Many organizations are eager to know exactly that. Every product or service has a lifecycle. There comes a point in the lifecycle when a new leap must be made to facilitate rediscovery. This leap is crucial for survival and it is certainly no walk in the park. Future sketching can be a real leg up in the process. It offers the opportunity of working together with other partners to understand the markets, products, services, partners and competitors of the future. The BiELAt Foundation is mounting the future sketch event with the objective of conducting an intriguing experiment: sketching your strategic, future challenges together with specially selected partners from the ELAt region to discover real business opportunities.

Philips, EON Benelux, Tyco Electronics, Van Houtum and TMC are the Dutch companies that have committed to the new concept. VITO, City of Genk, SKC • CEN, Philips and Janssen Pharmaceutica Belgium (in collaboration with SPC) are the Belgian parties. In September, they first met to formulate their strategic question. Along with networking organizations such as BOM, LIOF, SPK, Agoria, and Agit Wirtschaftsförderung Mönchengladbach, they looked for appropriate partners to join at their table during the event on November 8 Future Sketch. The futures sketch takes place in groups of up to 9 people (by invitation) with various professional backgrounds. This ensures a variety of interesting and innovative approaches.
