Stadslab 2050 wins Belfius/Knack Smart City Award

Last week, the City of Antwerp won the Belfius/Knack Smart City Award for Stadslab 2050, a project that enjoyed the support of the Antwerp diamond industry. The City of Antwerp wishes to work in a more sustainable manner, and with Stadslab 2050 has launched a new strategy, together with several Antwerp companies and sectors, to accelerate the process of reducing energy consumption and increasing sustainable energy provision.

The Antwerp World Diamond Centre was happy to accept the City of Antwerp’s request to participate in Stadslab 2050. In the framework of this project, AWDC commissioned an analysis of the energy efficiency of its office building.

Winning this award demonstrates the success of Stadslab 2050. By means of this award, the initiators hope to serve as a catalyst for cities to opt for implementation of intelligent, sustainable and local developments.
