Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Sustainable Development Circle
Inspiring system change in business
The Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Sustainable Development Circle of the Foundation for Future Generations is a peer learning group of about 30 entrepreneurs who exchange on solutions to advance the business community along the transition towards a sustainable economy. Senior CEOs and younger entrepreneurs from Wallonia and Brussels, they come from a wide range of economic sectors and business sizes.
Activities
The programme consists of 4 annual meetings during which members discuss a particular topic, going from theory to practice and taking into account real life situations of companies. The programme is developed in partnership with HEC Liège. Members contribute by hosting the Circle in turn at their production site. The fourth meeting is generally a public conference, open to non-member CEOs and corporate stakeholders, by invitation only.
