What's is the future workshop ?
The Future Workshop joined past, present, and future to shape and build a more connected Luxembourg for tomorrow. With over 200 attendees, the event explored the future of connectivity in Luxembourg.
On 14 December 2023, futurist Rohit Talwar delivered an inspiring keynote at the European Convention Center Luxembourg, followed by an expert panel discussion on the potential of 5G, space, and connectivity. 20–30 students then collaborated with the renowned design agency EGGS to craft their vision for a connected Luxembourg, pitching their ideas during MyConnectivity’s side event at Nexus Luxembourg, in June 2024.
The event sparked discussions about future connectivity, connected diverse groups, bridged gaps, and promoted advancements in Luxembourg’s digital landscape. The findings were compiled into a white paper and shared with partner organisations and the community.
