[Belgian Princely Mission To India] In #Mumbai the Belgian mission really shifted in higher gears with the organization of the Tech Forum at Proximus Group / Route Mobile Limited Multiple speakers among which several Indo/Belgian tech startups like Ongil.ai, Karpine and Ailaysa were there to represent newest innovations, symbolizing the possibilities of Indo-Belgian cooperation in the field of tech.  Just around the corner from Proximus, we then paid a visit to our recent winner of #MyWelcomePackage, Custom Technologies Design Lab and we were treated to a demo of their newest #VR projects they are looking to bring to the EU market 🎯 Meeting our friends from South India in Mumbai was a great occasion to strengthen our collaboration with the renewal of the MoU signed between Kerala Startup Mission and hub.brussels last year.  In the famous CCI we had the opportunity to organize our second market access seminar.    On our last day in Mumbai the Brussels #delegation got together for one last time during the Brussels night to meet with their Indian business partners, colleagues and friends alike. For us, this evening was also the foremost opportunity to welcome and put the spotlight on several of the Indian entrepreneurs that chose Brussels last year as their homebase for accessing the #EU market.   Hopefully we will be able to welcome more of you to Brussels in 2025 🤝 Ajith Sahasranamam Ph.D. Senthil Nathan Sudharsan Varatharajan Abhijit Pegu Debashish Banerjee Saurabh Sameerr Krupasagar Sridharan Amit Prajapati Prajeet Prabhakaran Ashok Kurian Panjikaran (AKP)Anoop Ambika Krishna C.

[Belgian Princely Mission To India] #Brussels is in #India this week, accompanying a #Belgiandelegation of businesses and HRH Princess Astrid for the first Belgian princely mission in over 10 years to India. To get a first taste of India we arranged a parade of #Delhi autorickshaws to bring the Brussels delegation to the famous UNESCO site Qutab Minar. On our first official day an important visit was planned to MeitY Startup Hub, a key organization in India for supporting startups in the field of deeptech and electronics. Our discussions centred around our collaboration during the princely mission and the incoming #delegation of deeptech startups visiting Brussels later this year. On day two the Brussels team hosted the market access forum to the EU with a lineup of specialists from Brussels explaining how to get your business of the ground in #Europe as Indian entrepreneur. The princely mission too for us was an excellent opportunity to engage with new partners in the field of tech. During the official signing ceremony, hub.brussels is proud to have signed an MoU with T-Hub on startup ecosystem exchange. Right before leaving for #Mumbai our team had one more stop to make at the Damien Foundation Hospital in Delhi. Damien Foundation, one of Belgian’s most longstanding NGOs received a generous donation of cutting-edge medical equipment to help them with the detection of TB, designed by no one else than Larkai Healthcare. LarkAI, recent winners of #MyWelcomePackage are based in Gurgaon and are currently in the process of registering an office in Brussels for their European operations.
