Last Wednesday, 6th of February, the 2nd edition of Expert’s day was held at the MIC Brussels. This session offered the opportunity for representatives of startups to meet experts from various field of interest.
That was a very enriching experience for them as they were able to ask questions about their respective project, and obtain useful advices about their profession.
Each representative had the privilege to get a direct and personalized interaction with an expert who took the time to listen to their whole project proposal.
Here are some higlights of the day:
*It started with presentations of each startup project proposal followed by presentations on the qualifications of each expert.
*Secondly, a one-to-one meeting between experts and startups representatives took place
*Lunch Time*
*For the second part of the day, experts met with startup representative that did not have the opportunity to interact with them during the first half of the day.
*Debriefing of the day and a critical assessment of the strength and weaknesses of each project proposal was given. This assessment integrated all the practical advices provided by the experts in order to help the startups materialize their innovating projects.
The feedbacks from the startups were very positive. They all left the meeting with essential tools that will help them concretize their projects.
