We’re kicking off with some festive food for thought. Are you connected to the food industry? This is the networking event you’ve GOT TO attend.
It's not all about food either: we're also covering sustainable agriculture, forestry and water research, since they’re all linked together. Sustainable agriculture leads to sustainable food. Forestry and water research lead to sustainable agriculture. Does this ring a bell? Or are you interested in networking with people who know their way around these topics? Join us!

Designing Diversity: July 30
A changing world - inclusive, innovative diverse and reflective societies
Diversity seems to be a buzzword lately, but at Start it @KBC we know that it's also one of the most important pillars of every company, community and network. Diversity leads to change, to new ways of thinking and reflecting, to alternative and innovative methods, to stronger companies. Relate to people who are actively rooting for diversity or talk to people facing challenges in this department and looking for ideas for change. Or just share your story and listen to other stories. This is a networking event for EVERYONE, as this is a topic for every society and community.

Sustainability is about way more than recycling: it has to be part of everything we do. Get some green inspiration here. As resources are getting scarce and we've come to realise there's only one Earth, thinking about alternative, green and sustainable resources and energy has become our second nature. Evolving towards a circular business model is one of the ways to do this. Get in touch with people in the field: experts, startups and more. There's a whole new green and clean world out there.
