This project involves the redevelopment of the area around and between the halls of transforming it into a logistic and multifunctional sustainable zone that aligns with the broader objective of Flanders Expo as a sustainable multi-format event venue.

✅ Enhanced mobility
The road reconstruction around and between the halls will streamline logistical transport, including the setup and dismantling of events, ensuring smoother operations. Also, the continued rollout of digital signage is planned.

✅ Sustainable development
We focus on water management and recovery, and the use of energy and materials. For example, the plans include a green periphery with trees, hedges, and wadis for rainwater infiltration.

✅ Multi-format event venue
The development of the Expo Park is integral to the long-term sustainable functioning of Flanders Expo. It allows different events to occur simultaneously without affecting mobility.
