Braveheart Entrepreneur’s Strength

 

★ Confidence

As a Braveheart Entrepreneur, you believe in yourself! You know you have what it takes to succeed and you have little fear. That’s a huge strength because as an entrepreneur you can’t let your own insecurities hold you down. And if things take a wrong turn, you’ll pick yourself up and face the day with new energy and positivity.

 

To build on your strength

 

★ Motivation

It’s a huge strength if you’re doing something that you find deeply and personally meaningful, because that gives you the intrinsic motivation you need to give it your utmost and also to keep going when things get tough. But for you, Braveheart Entrepreneur, it’s not always easy to link an entrepreneurial career to a cause you care about.

At Hack Belgium, that’s exactly what you’ll be doing.You’ll discover opportunities for innovation that are grounded in major societal challenges. Such as about how we can keep our planet’s ecology intact through circular business models and new energy solutions. And about how we can achieve the full potential of humanity through future proof education, better healthcare and an end to discrimination and injustice.

You’ll learn from the people who are working at the front-end of these challenges and together will brainstorm ideas for promising new solutions. Your next venture will help make our world a little better!

 

★ Entrepreneurial Skills

Entrepreneurship is not some magical inborn talent. It’s a skill that you can learn. It’s about knowing how to evaluate business ideas, about how to posit and test your assumptions, about prototyping and user testing. It’s about growth, about marketing and sales. And it’s about finding the resources and funding to keep your business afloat.

Hack Belgium is basically a super intense crash course in all these skills. You’ll attend hands-on workshops on business modelling, user centered design and much else. And with the help of mentors you’ll be applying your new skills immediately in your project.

 

★ Market & Technology Knowledge

Most successful entrepreneurs process vast amounts of information. Entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are famous for the amount of reading they do. It’s why such entrepreneurs have a deep and insightful understanding of their market and especially how technology is driving change. Such insight doesn’t come by magic, Braveheart Entrepreneur! Those who think that it does, that they’re blessed with some supernatural business ‘intuition’, will soon find themselves left behind by smarter entrepreneurs.

At Hack Belgium you’ll vastly expand your knowledge about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, bio-as-technology, internet of things and immersive technologies. You’ll attend technology workshops, you’ll play with technologies in the massive Experience Zone and you’ll build a professional network among the country’s top technology experts. You’ll also learn about societal trends and challenges, and thereby discover new opportunities for innovation. And finally you’ll learn about all the latest thinking in entrepreneurial management and product design. Most importantly, you’ll be able to apply your new knowledge immediately in your own project.

 

★ Professional Network

You cannot succeed as an entrepreneur alone. If you think you can, then you’re confusing entrepreneurship with The Lone Ranger and Rambo. You need to build a talented team; you need to develop strong customer relationships; you need a network of experts you can rely on for pointed advice and mentoring; and you need connections to the people and organisations who can help you with tangible support and funding.

Hack Belgium brings together this country’s entire entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystem. Not for a cocktail party, but for 3 solid days of creative work. You’ll make new friends with your teammates, you’ll connect with hundreds of leading experts and scientists by attending workshops and hanging out in the Experience Zone, you’ll find mentors for your project, you’ll  meet potential customers, and you’ll discover the best possible funding and acceleration opportunities available in the country.
