Entrepreneurship initiative launches series of workshops and conferences in Wallonia

Business creation training advisors are hosting a series of conferences and workshops aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs, with sessions scheduled to take place at IFAPME centres across Wallonia. A key location for this initiative is the centre located in Gilly, Charleroi, which has been identified as an ideal venue for fostering connections among participants, including entrepreneurs and potential investors.

The programme consists of both daytime and evening events, accommodating a range of attendees, and is designed to create an inclusive environment for all entrepreneurs. For those unable to attend in person, several webinars are being offered online, allowing remote participants the opportunity to engage with the material and discussions.

A notable highlight of this initiative is a special evening event scheduled for 20 March from 6 PM to 9:30 PM at the IFAPME in Charleroi. Titled "Hatch as an Entrepreneur," this event aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the entrepreneurial landscape. The evening will feature inspiring testimonials from local entrepreneurs, who will share their experiences and insights into the challenges and rewards of starting a business.

Attendees can expect to learn about various support networks available to entrepreneurs, including mentoring programmes and funding opportunities. Experts will provide valuable advice, while participants can become acquainted with management tools through Odoo, a business management software that serves to streamline operations and enhance productivity.

The evening's schedule will also include a networking session, providing an opportunity for attendees to connect with one another, share ideas, and potentially collaborate on future projects. This interactive aspect of the event is designed to encourage the formation of strong ties among entrepreneurs and investors, fostering a community of support that extends beyond the formal sessions.

Concurrent to this event, the full week’s programme has been structured to cover a breadth of relevant topics, catering to both novice and seasoned entrepreneurs. The initiative reflects the growing emphasis on entrepreneurship within the region, as these events aim to equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and networks they need to succeed in their ventures.

In summary, the series of events organised by business creation training advisors at the IFAPME centres in Wallonia, particularly the upcoming evening event in Charleroi, underscores the commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship within the region. It provides a platform for education, support, and vital networking opportunities, aligning with the needs of aspiring business owners in today’s economic landscape.
