💡 Great article in De Tijd today! According to Deloitte, #startups and #scaleups in our country are growing three times faster on average than they were ten years ago. Especially East Flanders shines as the leading province for tech innovation. "That has much to do with the ecosystem developed in Ghent since the beginning of the previous decade. When the social network Netlog stopped, dozens of employees scattered. They founded their digital start-ups, such as In The Pocket and Showpad, which inspired other tech companies." If we continue to support each other and find ways to collaborate across disciplines, the best is yet to come. Just imagine what we could achieve if we unlocked the full potential of what's happening here. There has never been a better time to be a part of what's happening in this city. Who wouldn't want to help take our innovation ecosystem to the next level? #capitaloftechnology #ghenttech #biotech #healthtech #cleantech #digitaltech
