The BEFuture Acceleration Programme supports SMEs and other organisations as they turn innovative ideas into reality. Selected mentors accompany the projects selected under the programme throughout this process.

Our Acceleration Programme offers funding and technical support for innovative projects in the business events sector promoting sustainability, resilience and inclusivity. Under its Call for projects, the programme selected projects driven by SMEs from Belgium (Flanders), France, Germany, Italy, Spain (Catalonia) and the Netherlands. 

In this context, we created a pool of mentors to support the selected innovative projects. Our diverse pool of over 150 mentors brings a wide range of expertise to help guide and challenge the projects. 

Profiles of mentors admitted under the Call include experts or consultants that accompany SMEs, providing expertise, advice or services to support their innovative projects from the first steps until finalisation.

The costs of these mentoring sessions are funded through the financial support received under the Acceleration Programme.

The list of selected mentors can be viewed here :
