Tuesday evening, was an evening to remember, filled with inspiration, innovation, and authentic stories of entrepreneurship. ✨ korneel vandenbroucke, general manager of Orsi Academy, shared the fascinating journey of this pioneering center. He shared how they tackled the challenge that the academic medical training has remained largely unchanged for over a century, despite the rapid innovation in the field. Orsi’s impact was recognized with the Regiostar Award, celebrating their excellence and innovation at the European level. ✨ Marie Van den Broeck, CEO and founder of My Add On, demonstrated the power of collaboration. By involving her users from R&D to communication, she exemplifies what true customer-centricity looks like. This commitment to collaboration has earned her two Henry Van de Velde awards, a true reflection of the value of listening and adapting to those you serve. ✨ Wim Audenaert, CEO of AM-Team, offered an honest and open account of the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. His work in transforming the water purification industry earned him the prestigious Change Makers Award and left us inspired by his drive and resilience. As a gesture of appreciation, each speaker was surprised with a custom-designed lamp, handcrafted and 3D-printed by Wesly Jacobs—produced literally in-house and symbolizing the light they bring to their industries. A big thank you to BNP Paribas Fortis for their hospitality, to Willem Vertonghen and Thibaud Tack for the great (and fun 🤩 ) collaboration, and to Melissa Van Hauwermeiren for her meticulous work behind the scenes.

🖊️ A new chapter in the history of Health Hub Aalst began last Friday, as we launched our very first management program for change agents in healthcare organizations. 🎉 It was a pleasure to bring together professionals from both hospitals and the healthcare industry, all united by a shared commitment to drive innovation and improve healthcare. A big thank you to our participants for their enthusiasm / interactivity and to our partners for sharing their expertise; Tine Adriaensen from IDEWE kicked things off with a powerful testimonial on how their innovation strategy is structured. We then dove with Robin Decoster (Odisee) into key frameworks for setting up an innovation strategy and measuring its ROI, explored creative business models (because when hospital budgets are tight, creativity is key!) with Hendrik Baudrez (KPMG), and wrapped up with a practical session on budgeting innovation projects - thanks to Jetty Van Lent (BNP Paribas Fortis) for leading that conversation. Looking ahead to Day 2, we’re excited for the deep dive into the hard skills of innovation management: Frank Staelens (OLV Ziekenhuis Aalst-Asse-Ninove) will take us through the latest tech innovations in healthcare, Susanne Nybergh (BD) will share valuable tips on data protection and privacy, and Matthias Marescaux (KPMG Belgium) will provide insights into IP management. In the afternoon, Erwin De beuckelaer (HOGENT) will lead an exploration of the design thinking methodology. It’s shaping up to be another insightful day!
