SuperNova
The leading innovation festival
at the heart of Europe
We'll be back in 2026
We shot for the moon and showed you the stars
SuperNova 2025 was nothing short of stellar. We kicked things off with an unforgettable opening night featuring Oprah Winfrey, who lit up the stage and set the tone for three days of boundless ambition.
What followed? 200+ speakers, from global icons to bold innovators, sharing radical ideas and future-defining insights. Endless conversations, partnerships, and chance encounters—many sparked somewhere between panels, pitch sessions, and the now-legendary longest bar in Belgium.
From founders to futurists, from first-timers to seasoned VCs—everyone came to connect, explore, and push boundaries.
And the best part? We’re just getting started.
SuperNova will be back in 2026—bigger, bolder, and ready to go even further. Stay tuned.
