The lighthouse of entrepreneurship in Belgium
Breaking downevery obstacleon the entrepreneurialpath.
Entrepreneurship is a
force for good.
Why we exist
We believe entrepreneurship can save the world, and it is already transforming ours: more innovative, more inclusive, more sustainable.
In Belgium, most of the economy is carried by people who built a small or medium company. We exist to keep that road open, whoever is walking it and whatever their ambition.
It is an answer to our most pressing challenges.
It lights the way to pursuing dreams and personal growth.
To empower entrepreneurship in Belgium.
We break down every obstacle.
Reduced to four, this is the Belgium we are working towards. Every one of them is an obstacle today.
We fund. We operate.
We advocate.
Three levers. Each one answers a different kind of gap, across the full entrepreneurial journey.
We Fund.
Structural, multi-year funding plus collective acceleration for the social profit organisations already strengthening entrepreneurship across Belgium.
- 10 supported organisations
- Funded over 3 to 6 years
- RISE collective accelerator
We Operate.
A portfolio of programs we design and manage to foster entrepreneurship at all stages.
- BEyond, scaling and internationalisation
- Second Chance, Revival and First Lights
- FDT Grant, health access
We Advocate.
We inform and advise decision-makers on what shapes entrepreneurship. Where a gap calls for more than a program, we help start a movement.
- BE.Entrepreneur, advocacy with proof
- Wallons-y!, a collective movement
Who does it
The people who do the work.
Behind every program there is an entrepreneur, a mentor, a volunteer, a partner who said yes. They are the foundation.
Numbers
that make us tick.
Be part
of the solution.
Choose your way in, whatever your time, your skills or your means.
Revival needs coaches and mentors. First Lights needs trained volunteers to listen. A day a month can make a real difference.
BEyond accelerates tech scale-ups past their first million. If you have built one, your experience is what they need.
Corporates, foundations or support organisations: let us talk about what we can build together.
Support a foundation that breaks down obstacles for Belgian entrepreneurs at every stage.
