Participants

Participating to the NTN Innovation Booster was a great experience. Bringing all stakeholders around the table for a full day allowed us to exchange and initiate new and innovative projects that will hopefully be showcased in the upcoming years in our events.

Being part of this NTN Innovation Booster is an exciting process. The meeting of various practitioners of different business sectors and different public actors as well as researchers provides the fruitful grounds to create innovative ideas. The transfer of these ideas into practice is the next step in this process I am looking forward too.

Ce que je retiens du NTN, c’est le potentiel de solutions lorsque différents horizons, expertises et générations abordent ensemble un problème spécifique. À ce moment encore à l’état de réflexions, je me réjouis de voir les réalisations effectives. Rendre les villes plus actives, plus “healthy” est possible et apparemment pas forcément très compliqué en allant, ainsi qu’ en prenant les décisions dans ce sens ensemble. 

La rencontre de différents acteurs et intervenants est primordiale lors de l’étude d’un projet. Cette phase doit être organisée en amont pour permettre de mieux comprendre les attentes et besoins de chacun.e tout en mettant en exergue les différentes problématiques. 

Taking part in this Health City NTN Innovation Booster was a breath of fresh air as Active Design in general and an interdisciplinary approach to getting our communities more active and healthy are not a given in this part of the world. I found the session well introduced, well facilitated and extremely stimulating. It is high time we reconsidered the way we design and operate our cities, placing people’s individual and collective well-being at the heart of urban governance!
