Rokoko is a startup based in Copenhagen, Athens &amp; San Francisco that created the motion capture solutions Smartsuit Pro (sensor-based mocap suit), Smartgloves, and Motion Library (the world&#8217;s largest marketplace of motion assets). Our vision at Rokoko is to give all creative teams access to quick, non-intrusive and intuitive animation tools.

Rokoko

At Rokoko, we spearhead a paradigm shift in how developers work with human motion data. For decades, digital tools have been counter to the way we naturally work. We’re moving away from a past that constrained creativity and making a future where the tools are playful and intuitive for everyone.
We’ve democratized the expensive and inaccessible tools of traditional motion capture – with the Smartsuit Pro, Smartsuit Studio, and Motion Library. These tools can reach the hands of creators who never had access to motion capture before. We set their ideas free in gaming, films, education, sports, health, live performance, and VR/AR experiences. With more creators gaining access every day, the future of motion capture led by Rokoko is limitless.

Binocolo design imagines and produces eco-responsable toys, furniture and spaces for 
children. Our pieces, made in Brussels, are playful and elegant. All our creations aim to 
stimulate the imagination and create moments of sharing between young and old. 
In Italian, Binocolo means « binoculars » : an everyday object that allows us to look far 
ahead. And this how we imagine our design publishing house! 
Our furniture is durable over time, but also sustainable in terms of its ecological impact. 
In our creation, the assembly of the object is part of its soul: on it depend its aesthetics, 
its resistance, but also the type of waster it will generate and the possibility of recycling 
it.

Our boiKousu range: a children’s chair and table made up elements to assembled by 
sewing on wood* with colored organic cotton or linen cords. This ancestral and playful 
technique allows a moment of creation and sharing between child and parent. 
Subsequently, in this boiKousu range, we will offer evolutionary pieces that can be 
combined with the chair or table by transforming it into a bench or rocking chair, but 
why not also into a slide or teepee&#8230;
La Bande de bras cassés: a game of assembly and imagination to build (or deconstruct) 
animals. The pieces fit together with brads and can be easily painted or stained. More 
than just toys, theses pieces can also be used as decoration. Les Bras cassés are five in 
number and are presented as a band to bring a whole host of adventures to our 
characters and your children!

Born in 2015 during an educational workshop led by the Master ITER (Innovation and Territory) and the LabEx ITEM (Innovation and Mountain Territories), at the Institute of Alpine Geography in Grenoble, France, the Losonnante project was initiated by Sébastien Depertat, joined in 2017 by Thomas Bonnenfant.

Losonnante

Losonnante is an original sound installation in that it offers a bone conduction listening experience. The sound is therefore not projected into space through the air, it travels along the elbows, arms, hands to the ears.
Perfect for noisy places
Bone conduction listening offers unparalleled sonic possibilities and depth in noisy places. Hands on your ears, you isolate yourself from the outside world.
&nbsp;
A discreet sound bubble
Losonnante is a listening device that is discreet from those around it. It does not generate sound conflicts and can be installed in environments sensitive to noise.
Simplify access
The device offers a simple surface where you can put your elbows. There is no specific equipment. Depending on the position of the hands on the ears, the sound changes slightly allowing everyone to find the most suitable listening position.

Zafi Cycles is a start-up that manufactures wooden bicycle frames that are 100% made in Belgium. 
Manufacturing wooden bicycles combines technology and craftsmanship to create an exclusive and innovative product. Its technical qualities (performance and comfort) and its timeless aesthetics make it a unique object capable of satisfying the simple amateur or the experienced cyclist.
In fact, wood is a great engineering material because its cellular structure acts as a network of natural shock absorbers, absorbing road vibrations and making the ride extremely smooth. It therefore allows you to combine performance and pleasure.
The wood is sourced from local sustainably managed forests (including the Sonian Forest) and everything is done to minimise the ecological impact during production. Each bike is custom built and designed in Belgium.

Deloitte Digital combines strategy, design, technology to create memorable experiences on any channels, from web platform to mobile app to interactive kiosks to augmented/virtual/mixed reality. We guide and support our clients from the transformation of their idea into prototype then into solution to be launched on the market, putting always the human at the center of our approach.

Deloitte Digital

The Deloitte Digital team will showcase its rapid prototyping capabilities by giving visitors the opportunity to experience their latest prototypes. Through the lenses of an mixed or virtual reality headset, visitors will be able to test immersive experiences. Those experiences have been developed in order to illustrate the possible added-value of mixed and virtual reality.
Indeed, those technologies are so difficult to grasp that we believe that they need to be tested so people can imagine what they could mean for them. It’s a new world that can be imagined, and it’s very easy to get lost in the process, losing track of what remains for us the essential objective: bringing added-value to an organization.
As illustrated by our experiences, this added-value can be related to an improved efficiency, an improved decision-making process, a new channel to present products in an immersive context, and many others. Our team will be happy to discuss with you those use-cases and all the other ones you can imagine.

Fabricar3v is an INTERREG FWVL (France-Wallonie-Vlanderen) project created in 2019 and having the ambition to develop a &#8220;low cost&#8221; process of metal additive manufacturing. Our objective is to allow the greatest number of structures to have access to the printing of metal parts for prototyping and production in small or medium series. The work carried out within the framework of the project is open source and the technology developed is based on &#8220;MIM-like&#8221; manufacturing (FDM printing of metal-filled granules), which is very easy to implement, unlike other processes currently available on the metal 3D printing market.
The developments made will give rise to a technology with the lowest possible purchase cost: The complete process is currently less than €10,000. This is 20 times less expensive than what is currently available on the market, making this process accessible to small and medium-sized businesses and FabLabs.

FabricAr3v

Open Source and Low Cost aim to facilitate the adoption of metal 3D printing by all industry players. By freeing ourselves from the constraints of industrial property and cost we wish to accelerate the development of this promising technology. The design and development of a technology like this is complex and the skills to be implemented are therefore very diverse: Fabricar3v is composed of a multidisciplinary consortium, bringing together all the skills needed to pursue the objectives we have set ourselves. The project is composed of 10 cross-border partners, led by the CNRS. We are thus combining know-how and expertise in five areas: additive metal manufacturing, mechanics, metal injection moulding, simulation and industrial property.

Boston 168 (Italie) – Live :
Hailing from the Italian Motor City of Turin, the Boston 168 duo,is a kind of creative laboratory : true electronics researchers, who have spent years working on the vivisection of sound in order to create a new techno substance. In 2010 with their friend Gambo they created the Old and Young label which combines Gambo&#8217;s experience with their fresh perspective to take techno to unexplored territories. This is when they get to work on their live set and start irradiate with cosmic warmth, the dawns in warehouses, ex-industries and clubs, taking their audience on journeys in search new gravitational spaces and sonic black holes. Like the music on their label, their live sets combine the machines that have made the history of techno such as the TB-303 and the TR’s from Roland, with new machines from Elektron.
Phara – Live :
As a resident of the iconic Fuse Club in Brussels and the infamous Voltage Festival, Phara has been on the Belgian techno scene’s forefront since the start of his career in 2016. After releasing a 2 x 12” album on the renowned Black Sun Records following up on artists like Blawan, AnD, Sunil Sharpe &amp; many more, Phara has been continuously putting out dancefloor weapons on labels such as Planet Rhythm, Projekts, SK-Eleven and Soma.
In October 2021 he announced his first label PHAAAR, specially made to release his own productions. Known for his raw and energetic DJ sets, Phara takes a modern twist on old school techno. It shows up in his live performances which he’s been working on for a few years now : with only an ElecTribe as his only instrument on stage, he’s pushing the capacities of the machine to root a visceral techno out if it.
antoine. – DJ set :
antoine., is a DJ and producer from Namur (Belgium), curator of the T R U S T concept and member of the MOMENTUM collective. 
It was in 2011, in a dark marquee in Dour and in a euphoric atmosphere that antoine. got acquainted with techno music. 
The power of the basses, the repetitive and hypnotic rhythms, the sound textures&#8230; All these elements were new but already so natural to listen to. He is particularly attentive to the universe of Richie Hawtin, the undisputed master on the global minimal-techno scene.
In 2012, he bought equipment to tame music, understand it, to feel it. Love at first sight. In love with what technology offers him as a possibility, he quickly turns to a hybrid set-up that allows him greater creativity by integrating drum loops, live elements and sound layers into original tracks. He is now influenced by artists with singular, hypnotic and melancholic universes such as Shifted, Joachim Spieth, Etapp Kyle, Artefakt, Emmanuel or even P.E.A.R.L. In 2018, he became more interested in production and worked in his home studio to release his 2021 album “after. &#8220;.

KIKK AFTERPARTY X TRUST X DELTA

With La bombe humaine, Éline Schumacher and Vincent Hennebicq put climate change at the heart of the debate. In a sincere, funny and intelligent approach, they explore all the facets of the crisis and hold up a mirror to our inconsistencies.
Melting ice, acidification of the oceans, disappearance of animal and plant species&#8230; One word alone sums up the impact of Man on the earth&#8217;s ecosystem: anthropocene. The era of human activities which, under the yoke of capitalism, is sacking the wealth of our planet. We know that we are heading straight for the wall, so why aren&#8217;t we doing anything to prevent it? This is the question that Éline asks herself, an average human being, full of ideals but also of contradictions like many of us.
Armed with a delightfully offbeat sense of humor that avoids moralizing, Éline and Vincent tackle the big question of the Earth&#8217;s future, multiplying encounters with scientists, anthropologists, psychologists, politicians and people with alternative lifestyles. The play is accompanied by music, a playwright&#8217;s guide, and a playwright&#8217;s guide. The play is a salvageable and incongruous plunge into the intimate face of a faltering humanity.
The play is accompanied by the original live music of Marine Horbaczewski and Olivia Carrère: the keystone of the show&#8217;s sound, which sometimes gives an air of apocalypse, sometimes a hint of spring to the performance.

La Bombe Humaine

&#8220;We come out of it pumped up, pushed in our sails by the energy, the humor, but also the seriousness of these intimate confessions coupled with a copious work of research and meetings (&#8230;)&#8221; &#8211; Le Soir
