A growing trend
Driven by a desire to find personal fulfillment along with a paycheck, and by a sour economy that makes traditional employment seem just as risky as starting a business, members of the so-called millennial generation are increasingly forgoing traditional career paths and are hatching business plans based on social responsibility and their own passions, interests and ideals.
A national ceremony
The SESSY national ceremony aims to enhance the awareness of the Belgian student entrepreneurs on a national and international level, while giving them the chance to share their ideas and vision of the world of tomorrow. Furthermore, our event is also an unmissable networking opportunity to enjoy a walking dinner with the Belgian student entrepreneurship clubs and to meet renowned entrepreneurs as well as potential investors, advisors and personalities from the worlds of politics, economics and industry.
