DISCO’s Ghent Living Lab: Final Event

DISCO’s Living Lab in Ghent is coming to a close with a final event on 25 April 2025! Throughout the project, Ghent explored multimodal urban logistics with a strong focus on water transport. Don’t miss the chance to discover the exciting results and insights!

The Living Lab in Ghent is coming to an end, and we’re wrapping it up with a final event on 25 April 2025. Partners—VIL, Imec, Be-Mobile, OHB, and the City of Ghent—worked together to create a safer, more sustainable logistics system using data sharing. Traffic and delivery rules (like car-free zones and school areas) were digitalised and shared with logistics companies to help them plan smarter, safer deliveries.

Agenda:

• 13:00 – Reception
• 13:30 – Welcome by Eveline van Hooijdonk (City of Ghent)
• 13:45 – Urban Access Control presentation (Bart Lannoo, Be-Mobile) + panel discussion

• 15:15 – Dataspace proof of concept (Dries Van Bever, Imec) + panel discussion
• 16:00 – Water transport demo (Peter Geirnaert, OHB)
• 16:15 – Networking
• 17:00 – End
