Back in 2013, a group of friends from the Solvay Business School of Economics and Management, the Louvain School of Management, the University of Namur and ICHEC Brussels Management School decided to go beyond their university courses and created a national entrepreneurship initiative for students and by students. The aim of this project was to promote entrepreneurship in Belgium especially among students.In January 2015, after more than one year of strategic thinking and redesigning, UStart had been created. More than a simple national brand, this organization of student entrepreneurship clubs had been developed on a new value proposition tailored for the student of the 21st century.Today, UStart cover all major universities in Brussels, in Wallonia and in Flanders, and had geographic perspective to expand its activities in Europe. Our mission is to strive to become the Belgium's community of student-entrepreneurs, a key actor in the national startup landscape and an impactful change maker at the European level 5 years down the road.
