Our Managing Director, Gilles Vanvolsem, had the pleasure of moderating the 8th edition of Circular Real Estate — an inspiring event demonstrating how circularity can be made tangible within the Belgian real estate sector.
This edition focused on “Building for the Future: From Regulation to Realisation,” highlighting the transition from policy frameworks to concrete implementation.
Gilles moderated a panel featuring several of our members:
- Stéphan Sonneville, CEO, Atenor Group
- Xavier Callens, Chief Creative Director, B2Ai architects
- Kris Liesse, Head of Real Estate Finance, ING Belgium
- Guillaume Nijdam, Sustainability Manager, Reynaers Group
- Wim Straetmans, Managing Director, BAM Interbuild
- Frederik Jacobs, CEO, CONIX RDBM Architects
They were joined by:
- Patrick Princen, Alderman, City of Mechelen
- Marie De Laet, Manager Innovation & Sustainability, Group Van Roey
- Kurt Jacobs, CEO, Jacobs Beton
A big thank you to all partners and speakers for their energy and valuable insights—and to Management Productions, the organizers, for creating such a meaningful platform for dialogue and action.
Now, it’s time to move from inspiration to implementation.
Within our BGBC Task Force on Circularity, we are committed to making circularity real by piloting innovative industrial solutions for circular building materials and connecting market players ready to turn ambition into action.
