The 4th national roundtable of LIFE BE FREE is an unmissable opportunity to find out how smart financing and collaboration can speed up large-scale energy renovations across Belgium. We’re bringing together pioneers and innovators with one common goal: to inspire with practical financing solutions and create space for new partnerships.
What to expect
Belgium’s buildings are among Europe’s biggest energy consumers — and transforming them at scale is a major challenge. What if we joined forces to make it happen faster?
You will come away from this event with:
curated highlights of lessons learned from the LIFE BE FREE project in 2025,
fresh inspiration from European pioneers financing large-scale energy renovations and their impact on climate,
new contacts and promising collaboration opportunities to take projects all the way from concept to implementation.
