R&D at Konligo: today and tomorrow.

At Konligo, we combine deep structural expertise with a passion for innovation. As a spin-off of the University of Brussels, our roots go back over 20 years, to academic research into foldable scissor structures. Several PhD studies have shaped the foundation of what we do today, and this scientific background continues to guide our hands-on, forward-thinking approach to creating smarter, more sustainable event structures.

Wind resistance: tested and proven.


We put our Fastival structure through a rigorous wind resistance test. Designed in collaboration with the VUB and validated by Vinçotte, we simulated winds of up to 80 km/h — equivalent to strong storms — using a custom setup with pulleys, sensors, and more than 1400 kg of force. The results? The structure held strong without permanent deformation, confirming its robustness with both top and back membranes attached. This test gives sound & lights professionals the confidence to use Fastival safely outdoors, even in challenging weather conditions.

Joint resistance: calculated to last.


To ensure our patented joints can withstand high wind and dynamic forces, we’ve rigorously tested them using Instron machines. Static tests showed the joints resisted forces between 7.3 and 11 kN (roughly 740 to 1120 kg) before failure — well above the maximum forces expected in our calculations. In repeated loading tests, we applied 3.9 kN (around 400 kg) and the joints resisted between 33,500 and 64,400 cycles before showing signs of failure. These results confirm the reliability and durability of our joints under both static and repeated stress, ensuring long-term performance in the field.

What we're working on tomorrow.


Thanks to the exclusive ISA grant of Innoviris, we’re now going beyond product improvement and exploring entirely new shapes and systems.

We are developing a tool to design custom stages and domes using parametric design — fast, flexible, and fully tailored to your needs. We’re also developing new components to unlock the full geometric potential of our patented scissor technology, allowing shapes and deployment modes never seen before.

And we do it all with modularity in mind: one set of beams, endless possibilities.

Faster. Smarter. Greener.


That’s the future of event structures — and we’re building it now.
