At consolid8 Festival, participants will have the opportunity to explore the latest trends in green technologies and connect with experts and sustainability visionaries. The event brings together an impressive group of invited speakers, recognized internationally for their contributions to green technologies. Notable personalities include Neil Harbisson and Daan Roosegaarde, who will share valuable perspectives during the "Talks" section on the second day of the festival. 

Festivalgoers will be introduced to innovation and design for sustainable urban environments by Daan Roosegaarde, a Dutch artist, designer, and entrepreneur. He is renowned for his innovative approach to the future of design and infrastructure in public spaces, with a special focus on energy.

Through his projects, Roosegaarde explores creative and technological ways to use natural resources in a sustainable and efficient manner. He is the creator of the world's largest air purifier, the smart highway with luminous and phosphorescent markings, and the most circulated solar-powered bicycle path that lights up at night. 

Also present will be Neil Harbisson, known as the first cyborg, who is a pioneer in using technology to overcome human limitations. Harbisson, who suffers from total color blindness (achromatopsia), has developed a cybernetic implant that allows him to perceive colors as sounds, providing him with a unique way to experience the surrounding environment. He is an advocate for human diversity and the potential for expanding human capabilities through technology. 

The "Talks" series includes other personalities from the entrepreneurial and business environment in Romania, addressing major topics such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, natural resource management, sustainable construction solutions, green business entrepreneurship, social innovation, and funding sources in the digital transition. These discussions will highlight concrete ways to promote a sustainable city and contribute to improving the quality of life for residents of Brașov and Romania.
