The yearly occasion to introduce yourself to our BELUX business community

Recapping a Night of Business Collaboration and Celebration

In a spirit of camaraderie and business collaboration, the Business Club Belgium-Luxembourg (BCBL) successfully hosted its annual Garden Party on September 26, 2023. This year's event was a testament to the vibrant exchange of ideas and the strengthening of ties between Belgium and Luxembourg. Held at the Luxembourg Residence, the Garden Party provided a unique blend of networking opportunities, member showcases, and a celebration of the shared economic and trade interests of the BELUX region.

Networking Extravaganza:

The heart of the event lay in the 180-second pitch, where both new and seasoned BCBL members took the stage to present their activities to the BCBL Board, fellow members, and key players in the BELUX economic landscape. This succinct timeframe challenged speakers to distill the essence of their work, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere.

Connecting Stories:

The Garden Party wasn't just about business; it was about the stories that bound Luxembourg and Belgium together. Members delved into the narrative of their businesses, exploring the commonalities and synergies that make the BCBL community a vital bridge between the two nations. As the speakers unfolded their stories in 180 seconds, the audience gained a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry that unites these two economic powerhouses.

Inviting +1s:

The BCBL had extended a warm invitation to members to bring a +1—someone with a keen interest in joining the BELUX business community. This initiative not only expanded the network but also ensured a diverse and dynamic exchange of ideas.

Dedicated to You:

The essence of the Garden Party lay in its dedication to the BCBL members. It was not just an event; it was an annual opportunity for the community to come together, strengthen bonds, and collectively focus on the mission of the Club. Beyond the business transactions, this gathering was a celebration of the vibrant community that drives the BCBL forward.
