What a great time to be Extreme! Our first Extreme NOW event in the Benelux region is in the books and it couldn’t be more inspiring and motivating to keep up the great work creating a better and more connected future. As the AAA-Partner of Living Tomorrow, we took our guests for a little trip into the future!
With as much as nearly 70 customers from the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg joining us on the sunny morning of March 6, 2024, we began our day with a tour around the Living Tomorrow Innovation Campus – one of Europe’s leading innovation hubs. Joachim De Vos, Co-Chairman of Living Tomorrow and Founder of TomorrowLab, brought us on an amazing journey through how the new and emerging technologies will revolutionize the very way our cities, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, workspaces, and manufacturing plants operate.
