Now that you've had time to read the 'State of Belgian Tech Report 2024' we put together with Bain & Company Brussels and Sofina from top to bottom multiple times (right?), here are some more data-driven insights to chew on. Did you know that Flanders’ tech startup ecosystem is growing 2.7 times faster than the European average (and a little bit faster than Belgium as a whole)? And that Flemish startups are on track to raise just south of €700 million in total this year? Those are just a few facts and figures featured in the third edition of the new 'The State of Flanders’ Startup Ecosystem' report, freshly released by Startup.Flanders. In the words of Startup.Flanders lead Olivier Van Horshoven: "This report confirms that Flanders is a thriving and rapidly growing startup region. Additionally, it highlights that our ecosystem-based approach is paying off. The close collaboration between entrepreneurs, capital providers, knowledge institutions, city governments and public organizations is clearly the key to success." 🔥 For a deeper dive, you can download the free report via the link in comments. #FlandersTech #BelgianTech #StartupFlanders Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) - Janne Kindt - Hanna Tuohino - Wouter Debeyne - Frederik Tibau - Ide Claessen - Catherine Van Eeckhaute - Nils Wuytens - Dealroom.co
