Looking to expand your export strategy and innovate in global markets? Mark your calendar for November 5-6, 2024, when the Flanders International Business Convention takes over the Skyhall at Brussels Airport! This reimagined version of Exportbeurs offers an innovative ecosystem-based networking model with eight specialized “bubbles”. This huge event is expecting about 1,000 attendees over the two days.

Participants will gain key insights through seminars and expert talks covering topics such as European trade policy and financing solutions. Keynote speakers Ralph Van Volsem and Peter Hinssen will also share cutting-edge ideas on business strategy, innovation and digital transformation.

Ecosystem Bubbles

This year a selection of clusters, companies and research centres are being organized into ecosystem bubbles to make it easier to connect with specific sectors. MEDVIA will be featured in the Data & Digital ecosystem bubble (alongside BeCom and D-teach). Other bubbles include:

• Food
• Life sciences
• Transport & logistics
• Climate tech
• Entertainment
• Defense

Business Hive

Similar to the ecosystem bubbles, the hive features three expert bubbles where you can get advice on innovation and business growth, regulations and subsidies and international trade.

• Business
• Chambers
• Government
