BE.Entrepreneur - 2 years after

Join us for the BE.Entrepreneur follow-up, two years after the release of the report and its recommendations.

Where does Belgium stand today when it comes to entrepreneurship? What progress has been made, what challenges remain, and what should the next priorities be?

This afternoon will open with a state of play of the current entrepreneurial landscape in Belgium, followed by a roundtable bringing together policymakers and entrepreneurs to share perspectives from both policy and the field, and to discuss what comes next for entrepreneurship in Belgium.
