Tuesday:

We start the day with a tour of the Living Tomorrow hub, a startup campus for innovative enterprises and where visitors can experience installations or imaginings of their products and services. The goal of Living Tomorrow is to help envisage, experiment and present how technology mediated changes may radically improve the quality of our future home, life and workplace.
