About the event

The Brabant Business Evening is an exciting new addition to this year’s calendar, designed to connect ambitious students with inspiring local companies. This event offers a unique platform to explore how innovation at a regional level can create global impact.

In addition to the insightful presentations, you will have the opportunity to network at an interactive fair—with drinks—where you can meet a diverse range of local companies. They operate in various sectors—from management, health and ERP software consulting to water supply, a startup, food tech, and finance. These companies provide a range of career opportunities, whether you’re looking for an internship, a work-study position, or your first full-time job.

On April 13th, we’ll kick off the evening with captivating speakers who embody the theme:

Local Ideas, Big Results

These leaders will share their journeys of driving local innovation while creating meaningful change on a global scale. Gain exclusive insights into their experiences, challenges, and the lessons that shaped their success.

After the talks, there will be an open Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers. The evening will then transition into a dynamic fair, where you can connect one-on-one with more local companies, ask personal questions, and explore how they’re making an impact in your region and beyond.

Discover the power of local innovation—join us for an evening of inspiration and connection at the Brabant Business Evening!
