Spring 2027De Hoorn, Leuven150 participants

More than an event — an ecosystem in action

The Spark Festival is no ordinary conference. It's the place where a growing ecosystem of entrepreneurs, researchers, policy makers, artists and citizens comes together to take tangible steps towards a future full of life. Playful, authentic and with both feet on the ground.

150 Changemakers

Entrepreneurs, researchers, policy makers, activists and creatives — all driven by the same question: how do we build a world that works for everyone?

Playful & Authentic

No stiff suits, no PowerPoint marathons. Instead, real encounters, hands-on workshops, and the space to experiment and play.

Ecosystem in Action

The Spark Festival is carried by an entire ecosystem of people and organisations who together embrace and shape a future full of life.
