  VIGC is an innovation center and network organization in the Benelux. Our goal is to inform and inspire the graphic arts industry about technology, workflows, processes and business models. We are a non-profit and independent organization. We reach out through 3 levels as there are our events, trainings and consultancy (incl lab activities).
