What can the Entrepreneurial Centre do for you?

Our entrepreneur lecturers are here to share their experience and connect you with inspiring entrepreneurs, both within and beyond KdG.

Together, we’ll help you build your network, your most valuable tool for launching a successful start-up.
We regularly organize inspiring workshops and events, such as Broodje Ondernemen sessions, the TakeoffAntwerp kick-off, Christmas markets, and Community Night.
Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, you can meet with our coaches and partners at Campus Groenplaats (Floor), Campus Zuid (Foyer Engage in the entrance hall), and Campus Hoboken (opposite the coffee bar in Building C). You can also email us at ondernemerscentrum@kdg.be

Check the KdG Entrepreneurial Centre calendar to find out where and when you can drop by.
