On May 13, 2026, an inspiring panel conversation brought together four diverse startup founders to share their entrepreneurial journeys, providing an honest look at the realities of building a company.
The event, co-organised by StartLab.Brussels, hub.brussels, and the FARI - AI for the Common Good Institute, featured candid reflections from these four founders:
- Aushim Koumar (Konligo)
- Chloe Goemans (Aetech)
- Mario Major (10 to the 13th Power)
- Aimilios Orfanos (ReVolta)
Building on the energy of this event, StartLab.Brussels has officially opened the call for applications for VUB researchers interested in entrepreneurship and how their research can create societal impact, potentially growing into their own company.
