WHY TRANSFORMA?

Because "The Times They Are a-Changin’ ", we want to enjoy our work, how we work and where we work.

transforma bxl is the result of the natural evolution of society where competition is replaced by sharing, collaboration and exchange of knowledge. The result: synergies and new projects.

More than a physical space transforma bxl is a space of social transformation: a platform that brings together a creative community, and provides them with the needed resources and tools to innovate, transform their ideas into action and drive forward their projects. We particularly love projects that contribute to improve the society in which we live in.

In transforma bxl we live by the values of transparency, collaboration, creativity, sustainability, friendship, social responsibility, innovation, generosity, participation, optimism, and good vibes.

FOUR MAIN ACTIVITIES

When you are in a room with great people... Great things happen!

Coworking Space: transforma bxl is a coworking space hosting a community of entrepreneurs, innovators and change makers. We care about our community members and want to help them drive their projects forward. We provide guidance and facilitate meaningful encounters with the people you should meet.

OpenFab: Openfab is an incubator for makers. It’s based on the FabLab worldwide network, an open prototyping platform where knowledge sharing is essential. Tools, such as 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC milling machine as well as technical and logistical assistance are available to facilitate innovation. We are looking to gather multidisciplinary and intergenerational dynamics between start ups, artists, designers, architects, entrepreneurs, engineers, artisans, hobbyists, students, and hackermoms and their crews.

O’Kitchen: O'Kitchen is a culinary incubator where small businesses have access to a safe food infrastructure and kitchen equipment. A collaborative space to experiment, produce, share knowledge, learn from each other but also plug-in Food Trucks, and much more. The proximity with Coworking entrepreneurs and OpenFab makers will allow all the interactions and serendipity you could possibly dream of.

Innovation Lab: We want to be at the forefront of innovation in Brussels organising and hosting relevant workshops, talks, meet ups, trainings, open space meetings, hackathons, barcamps or simply networking drinks. We co-create and curate content in partnership with other organizations, subject-matter experts,.. Maybe you?
