Startups x Talents Roadshow
Want to work at a startup?
Ask the founders yourself.
Five evenings, five Belgian tech hubs. Founders and young graduates tell you what working at a startup is really like, then it is your turn to ask questions over a drink.
Who knows, you might go home with inspiration, new connections… or your next job.
Limited places per city.

The programme
How the evening runs
| 6pm – 6.30pm | Talk | Three people who do it every day: a startup founder, an HR professional and a young graduate from the FirstMovers community. No slides full of buzzwords, just how it really works. |
|---|---|---|
| 6.30pm – 7pm | Q&A | What do you earn? How much responsibility do you get? Ask away, this half hour is yours. |
| 7pm – 8pm | Drinks | Chatting with the founders and with people your age asking the same questions. Chances are your first professional contacts start here.Powered by |

About the event
What is the Startups x Talents Roadshow?
The Startups x Talents Roadshow brings students and young graduates together with Belgian startups. For this second edition we travel to five tech hubs in autumn 2026: The Beacon in Antwerp, A6K in Charleroi, VentureLab in Liège, BeCentral in Brussels and the Wintercircus in Ghent.
The event is organised by Belgium Startup Ecosystem, the FirstMovers community and the tech hubs, together with Student.be and Liantis. Taking part is free and everyone is welcome, whatever you study.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Startups x Talents Roadshow cost?
Nothing. Free, drinks included. You do need to sign up, because there are only a limited number of places per city.
Who is this event for?
Students, final-year students and young graduates thinking about a startup. Your field does not matter: tech, business, law, engineering, finance, marketing, policy ...
Do I need to prepare anything or bring a CV?
No. Think in advance about what you really want to know, that is enough. A CV is not needed, but make sure your LinkedIn is in order: that is what founders look at afterwards.
What language is the evening in?
It depends on the city: Antwerp and Ghent in Dutch or English, Charleroi and Liège in French or English, Brussels usually in English.
Can I come to more than one city?
Of course. A different panel and different startups every evening. Just sign up separately for each city.
