jardins-de-linnovation.jpgIf you live in Luxembourg or in the extended region around, you would have certainly heard about the Spring Fair, a famous walk-through exhibition, targeting the general audience. This year’s edition has been quite special: several Luxembourgish companies presented their innovative products and technologies, around the theme ‘Garden of Innovations’ (“Le Jardin des Innovations”)… And of course our Group could not miss the event!

And what a success! From May 24 to June 1, 77,000 people visited the exhibition, and almost half of them took a walk through our Garden of Innovations. Visitors were amazed to see such a pleasant environment, where they could learn more about the companies involved and their products.

The Garden was a bold idea developed by our Group to present our innovations in a sustainable way. It included some famous ‘plants’ such as ABC concept, the lighter gas bottle, a silent gong and a pyramid made of Angelina® beam.

But the most striking innovations were the flowers made of steel. Surrounded by water and grass, you could wander over a small bridge and admire a willow and some lotus flowers, facing bamboos. These ‘steel plants’ are real works of art, and at the same time are environmentally-friendly, thanks to steel recycling properties. Would you like to know more about how the steel flowers are made?

    this photo could be used as a beautiful “arrière plan” comme un fond d’écran

    je travaille à R&D Maizières Documentation, et serais intéressée par quelques photos électroniques des nénuphars en couleur !
