Broeikas Aalst

The approved project 'Broeikas Aalst' has as its main objective to make the region of Aalst more entrepreneurial and consists of several sub-projects. A first initiative on which the project partners set their sights is to find the necessary structural funding to make the'Entrepreneur Award' a permanent event. With this they want to put regional entrepreneurs in the spotlight. Specifically in this bridge project, much attention is paid to the process of trial and error inherent in entrepreneurship.

The project partners also see opportunities in the organization of"Ideacafé's". Input for themes that will be discussed here will be provided by a think tank of regional actors. Some possible themes are: immigrant entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs who have followed technical or vocational education, organization of company visits where the entrepreneur talks to the students himself, etc. The project must also result in motivating and supporting students who want to start an entrepreneurial activity during or after their studies.
