Who is Comon

Together, we make Ghent even better
Comon is an open laboratory where scientists and technologists collaborate with creative citizens to make Ghent an even better city. Even more pleasant, even healthier. How? By listening to what citizens need. Exploring issues together. And devising and testing technological solutions tailored to people. For and with citizens of Ghent and Ghent enthusiasts. Because at Comon, everyone is an inventor
Of course, this can only be achieved through collaboration. Policy makers from the City of Ghent, researchers from imec and Ghent University, and the staff of Library De Krook took the initiative to establish Comon. It originated from a desire to put technology back at the service of society. These four partners collaborate at the intersection of culture, technology, and digital innovation. Their mutual home base is De Krook in Ghent. Comon often collaborates with other Krook partners such as Avansa regio Gent, Urgent.fm, and BlueHealth Innovation Center.
