Event
Tribo Launch
This event already took place. Wonder what it was like? Watch the key takeaways from our speakers.
67% of established companies feel their organization is too slow to innovate.
For this reason, we are launching TRIBO. Through innovative co-creation with scale-ups, we build bridges that not only benefit both parties, but also the Flemish ecosystem.
Experience the power of innovation by bridging the gap between corporate and scale-up for yourself.
This launch event consists of two separate parts.
Part 1: Innovation Circle
From 15:00 until 18:00 there will be an Innovation Circle for a limited number of participants. An Innovation Circle is a moderated session in which strategists and innovation leaders in business tackle specific challenges with their peers. For this, we hand-select participants based on the topic of the session.
If you would like to join this part of the event, indicate this through the tick box in the registration form. We will contact you for an intake meeting. We will contact the selected participants later on.
Part 2: Keynotes and networking
The second part of the launch event is open to everyone. Here we offer three keynotes, drinks and networking opportunities for corporate innovation professionals and startup and scale-up founders. You can register for this part of the event via the form below, free of charge.
