Brussels, Capital of Entrepreneurship

This late summer, Beci invites you to reconnect with Brussels' changemakers at the brand-new Beci Summer Summit, co-organised with AG.

A fresh, open-air format for a high-level event that brings together the region’s decision-makers for a unique moment of connection and insight — the perfect occasion to kick off the new season in Brussels.

Think sharp ideas, forward-looking perspectives, real conversations and fresh air!

Blending the depth of an urban forum with the spirit of a networking event, the Beci Summer Summit celebrates Brussels as a city that not only welcomes but also empowers those who build, imagine, and transform.

Brussels wears many crowns — capital of Belgium, capital of Europe, and capital of entrepreneurship. With its strategic location, diverse talent pool, and growing startup ecosystem, the Region is a beacon for opportunity and creativity.

Among our distinguished guests:

💬 Éléonore Simonet and Bernard Quintin, federal ministers of the Brussels Region, who will join the plenary session to exchange ideas with the community.

Expect an inspiring evening with entrepreneurs, political figures, creatives, and key players from Brussels’ diverse ecosystem — all those shaping the future of the Region.

And if, by some late-summer miracle, a Brussels government forms before the event…
The program will evolve accordingly and become: Brussels, Meet the Government — same energy, same format, with a sharper focus on political priorities, and a few new ministers joining the conversation. (Yes, the drinks stay cold.)

Join us to kick off the season, connect with key voices, and help set the agenda for what comes next.
