In recent years, the port city and metropolis of Rotterdam has also become a breeding ground for innovative entrepreneurship. The Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship (ECE) houses almost 100 companies which together form a community of driven entrepreneurs. These six floors are simply bursting with innovation and our Bringme Box feels like a fish in the harbour water there. We went to take a look.
The KU Leuven is one of the oldest universities in Europe. But that doesn’t mean it’s out-dated, as last year’s decision to allow all 40,000 students to use Bringme proves. Great move! We’re wondering how the students have found their first few Bringme weeks, so we head off to the learning centre Agora, where there’s a Bringme Box, and more than 10,000 students passing by every month.
Tucked away in the greenery in Kortrijk lies a brilliant feat of architecture: the Barco One Campus. Barco was founded in 1934, but in the past few decades it has become a leading worldwide player in the world of high-tech. Passion for innovation is at the heart of the company's policies. And yet, with Sabine Bouckaert, Program Manager of the Barco One Campus, we mainly talked about ... people.
