Microsoft Innovation Center Brussels

You have an idea you are dreaming of turning in a real project?

Come and attend the MIC Brussels Boostcamp which will start with the 2-day Kick-off session on May 24 & 25.

This is where you will crash-test your ideas, review the very fundamentals of your business, find out about sources of funding available from the government, discover more about technological choices available to you, and learn entrepreneur’s most fundamental skill: pitching.

The purpose of the session is also to introduce you to the interactive, collaborative workshop format that is the unique DNA of Boostcamp. And of course you will meet your potential co-Boostcampers and outstanding coaches that will support you throughout the Boostcamp process.

Following this kick-off, you will be invited to attend the second part of the Boostcamp starting from June to October. (more details to come soon!)

Now, a few more words about what you’ll do during the Kick-off:

Business model is the foundation of your business. It is the first session of the Kick-off, and you will work with the Business Model Canvas – an excellent tool that you will discover on October 26. We’ve actually dedicated a separate blog post to the Canvas – yes, it’s quite something – which you can find here.

You will also get tips on the administrative, Financial and legal aspects in the launch of a company, on governmental funding as well as on the importance of making a Business Plan.

You will meet with David Hernie, IT Evangelist at Microsoft Belux, will lead a session on IT architecture. For well over 15 years David has worked in a variety of technical roles, predominantly in the mobile space. He started as a system engineer and worked his way up to CTO of Vision IT Group Mobility before joining Microsoft in 2009.

In the afternoon on Day 2 (25th of May), you will be invited, under the coaching of Ben Piquard, Director of the MICs in Belgium and Leo Exter coach for the MIC Brussels Boostcamp, to a pitching session where you will work on public speaking, response to the camera, voice and other aspects of presentation.
