Some inspiration...
At the Innovative Startup Event in May, we took a deep and refreshing dive into the reality of startups. A couple of laureates of the Innovative Starters Award, Aline Muylaert, founder of CitizenLab, Louis Collinet, founder and CEO of Tapio and Christophie Chatillon, founder of uWare Robotics talked about their own challenges, and solutions.
We further share Aline and Louis' story with you through our first ever podcast, in the company of our Director General Stefaan Sonck Thibaut who also has a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship and start-ups.
Listen to our podcast - in French - via Spotify.
