What if your next entrepreneurial project were to take shape in a ULiège lab?
The Founder Link is an initiative led by HEC Liège, ULiège-RISE, and the Pulse Foundation to bring together ULiège researchers and experienced business professionals around a common goal: exploring the entrepreneurial potential of high-potential research projects.
On Thursday, September 8, 2026, an inaugural networking event will be held at HEC Liège featuring five projects selected by ULiège RISE. The goal: to facilitate matchmaking between researchers and entrepreneurs so they can explore, together, the potential for creating new technology spin-offs based on ULiège research.
Specifically, this event will take the form of a short, dynamic “entrepreneurial speed-dating” session. Participants will have the opportunity to meet several researchers leading innovative projects, discuss related business needs, and identify potential synergies for future collaboration.
Participating in The Founder Link gives you access to:
Date: Tuesday, September 08, 2026
Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
