Maak de stad (Make the city) wants to address the major challenges facing Antwerp and work with its citizens to solve them. It is looking for inspirational solutions and ideas for the Antwerp of tomorrow. The emphasis is on citizen power, open-source and open-design, cooperative frameworks and platforms, creativity and a can-do mentality. In these times of recession, we need smart solutions.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxFlanders, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxFlanders event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
