Newest sponsor: www.CeBITbusHannover.com

leo — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:32:07 +0000

CeBIT is the biggest ICT trade fair in the world.

CeBITbusHannover is the best way to get there from Belgium.

In operation since 2004, CeBITbusHannover provides you with much more than transportation – there’s information about the fair of course, a happy hour – and most importantly, networking with fellow CeBIT visitors and an opportunity to present your company.

At Bizcamp, one participant can win a free ticket (value of 80 euro), and every Bizcamp participant gets a reduction of 5 euro.

Our many thanks to Nico for his support!

Success #4: Bizcamp Ghent

Bart Van Loon — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:41:09 +0000

As the website visitor statistics tell us, Bizcamp Ghent is over. As Twitter tells us, we succeeded again at gathering enough interesting people which could entertain themselves with inspiring talks and discussions on entrepreneurship and related topics.

bizcamp.be visitor statistics...

There’s some work involved for the organisers, but it’s the participants and mostly the sponsors who make these events possible. Thank you all for your support and participation!

Would you come again? When do you think a next edition should be organised? Where? Should we keep doing this in English, or switch to Dutch like barcamp did a few years back? Please leave any comment you have below. It’s highly appreciated!

IBBT is Platinum Sponsor of Bizcamp Belgium 4th edition

leo — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 16:08:04 +0000

We’ve had a Bizcamp at a coworking space. We’ve had one at a sumptuous business office. We even had it at a city’s office. Venue is the departure point of every Bizcamp – it sets the tone for each edition of the event.

But for us it’s not so much about the venue – it’s much more about the people who welcome first the organizers, and then the participants. We’ve been tremendously privileged to work with outstanding individuals from across the country – thank you again Alex and Eric, Tim, and of course Hilde!

Now we’re delighted to add Karen and Lies to the illustrious list of Bizcamp hosts, and IBBT to the no less illustrious list of Bizcamp venues.

A few words about IBBT:

IBBT want to create a lasting and positive impact on society through ICT innovation:

demand driven, interdisciplinary research in collaboration with technology suppliers and users
excellence in research in domains with a high societal relevance
stimulating entrepreneurship
a wide (inter)national ecosystem for ICT innovation

IBBT manages several programs for entrepreneurs – one of the most interesting is the iBoot camp. Aimed at stimulating entrepreneurship, it is a program of specialized workshops focuses attention on training, coaching and teamwork around a specific business idea.

At the end of the iBoot camp, the various multidisciplinary teams have to present their project proposals to a panel of experts, including venture capitalists, who provide them with feedback and advice.

We certainly recommend you to look it up! Several Bizcamp participants also joined iBoot camp in the past – if you see Pascal Van Hecke on June 11, ask him

Thank you very much IBBT! Thank you Karen and Lies!

Carpooling to #bizcampbe

Bart Van Loon — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 06:17:48 +0000

Carpooling is good for you. You get to talk to other #bizcampbe fans and to get to know them, and you’re helping to keep the roads free and the air clean. Worthy sentiments, all three of those – so we would like to help you out with organizing carpooling.

If you’d like to offer a ride to someone – or hitch a ride with someone – we suggest you leave your name, twitter tag (or other contact details you don’t mind sharing online) and point of origin as a comment below.

If you don’t have a twitter ID… well, create one
