Important moments at the beginning and end of the program are organized physically and we also provide sufficient (physical) networking opportunities throughout the program. The physical events take place alternately over our different physical locations.
- We have physical locations in Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels at Meetdistrict.
- Start-ups in our program get access to flex office space, meeting rooms and all other facilities
