How will our children remember us? Let’s decide together at FTI and&
FTI and& 2024 by Leuven MindGate
FTI and& was a innovation festival in Leuven, organized by Leuven MindGate as part of Flanders Technology & Innovation.
Did you know? Right now, there are 8 billion people sharing our planet. But our story doesn't start here. In the grand tale of humanity, a staggering 100 billion people have lived before us. And what's even more astonishing is the future ahead.Imagine the number of people yet to be born! A future family of 6.75 trillion individuals! Yes, you read that right—trillions.

So, what does this mean for us?
It's simple, yet profound. We're not just living for today. Our actions echo into the lives of countless generations to come. The (future) children of your (future) children → that’s meta, we know! The question stands: How will we take responsibility for the future? How do we intend to leave this world for those who follow? Can we pave the way to a healthier, happier planet?
Here in Leuven, during the FTI and& Festival from March 16 to 20, we're dedicating our energy to those who will one day call earth their home. We are making this festival for the Health and Wellbeing for Future Generations.
So the best part? Our festival is for everyone. We've lined up engaging and accessible activities especially for young people. FTI and& isn't just for the few, it's for the many. Bring your family, join the community, and let's craft a better tomorrow together.
