The KIKK Festival is the international meeting place for creative and digital cultures, scheduled for 26-29 October in Namur. The festival brings together 2,500 creative industry professionals from some forty countries and 25,000 visitors from the general public.

This year, in addition to its now-famous cutting-edge conferences attracting festival-goers
from the four corners of the globe, the festival will be developing its B to B side even further,
offering companies several ways to get involved.

3. The Pavillon of Industries Culturelles and Créatives (ICC) in Wallonia and Brussels 

A showcase for the Walloon and Brussels CCI ecosystem: for CCI companies who don’t
have a tangible project to test and manipulate, the KIKK is offering to join (on selection) the
Booth, which is a showcase for Walloon and Brussels CCI expertise. Located alongside
other country booths in the festival’s Creative Village, the aim of this booth is to promote
talented Walloon and Brussels companies looking to go international, to bring together the
profiles of these international booths and to act as a springboard to internationalisation for
these companies.
