Our mission

"An increasing number of companies are opening up their innovation process, but interactions among key stakeholders remain rather rare."

"Days when innovation was carried out exclusively within the company are gone."

"We need more innovation to solve the problems that mankind is facing. But innovation doesn’t happen automatically, it doesn’t fall from the sky."

"Although Belgian companies are not doing bad in a European context in terms of R&D and collaboration, there is still room for improvement. Barriers continue to exist between academics and companies, between sectors and companies and between innovation players from the different regions. We want to help overcome those barriers with our initiative."
