‍Successful launch of the 'Race the Champ' challenge at Trefdag

We’re looking back on a successful launch of our ‘Race the Champ’ challenge at Trefdag Vlaanderen Digitaal 2024. Visitors took on the exciting task of cycling the same route as Lotte Kopecky, gaining insights into the connection between data and health. This event aligned perfectly with the theme of #Trefdag24, which focused on sustainable, reliable, and inclusive technology.

The central question of the day was: How can we design the society and government of tomorrow to continually improve the lives of Flemish people and society as a whole? Collaboration and data-driven innovation are essential to building a healthier society, and on October 24, no less than 84 enthusiastic participants contributed by comparing their cycling data to that of a true champion.
