A-Tower, Antwerp’s Sustainable Landmark
The event will be held at the A-Tower, Antwerp’s tallest building, renowned for its recent transformation into a model of sustainability and circularity. Once an office building, the A-Tower has been repurposed into a multifunctional space with 241 apartments, 5,500 square meters of office space, and dining facilities. The renovation prioritized eco-friendly practices, from solar panels and rainwater reuse to rooftop gardens and the preservation of its original concrete structure to reduce CO2 emissions.

In 2023, Silversquare opened its latest coworking hub in the A-Tower, offering stunning views of the city. Designed by Stéphanie d’Heygere, the interior draws inspiration from the 80s and 90s office aesthetics, making it a perfect setting for innovative thinking and networking.
