The interview with Elegnano founder, Katrien Herdewyn, on the award-winning Belgian podcast 'Dat is wel speciaal' (EN: That's really special) is now live. The podcast is available on all your favorite podcast channels, only in Dutch/Flemish though: https://www.suyinandmalyster.be/episodes/katrien-herdewyn
Katrien Herdewyn was named honorary professor at the Faculty of Engineering in 2021. She graduated as a civil engineer in 2010, and has since followed a remarkable and inspiring path. She is the founder of Elegnano, a successful start-up that combines fashion and technology in an innovative way. In 2015, she was named Startup of the Year by Unizo, she is on the Belgian list of 40 under 40 and is part of the Inspiring 50 of Europe. Her grandfather, an engineer himself, fervently hoped that one of his grandchildren would follow in his footsteps – perhaps the first spark that made Katrien decide to study engineering. But from engineer to shoe designer: that is quite a leap. What’s more, she divides her time between Belgium, Italy, and San Francisco, which makes her journey even more fascinating. We find her story not only special, but also incredibly interesting. And yes, as listeners of Suyin and Malyster's podcast know, they have a soft spot for beautiful shoes, but how exactly nanotechnology and shoes came together in Katrien's mind and heart – that's what you can discover in detail today.
