After having gone through the quality certification process with success CEIL Louvain counts now amongst the "best in class" of the network.

In direct partnership with the UCL (Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve) and in the heart of the Scientific Park of Louvain-la-Neuve, the CEI Louvain incubator led by Jean-Marc Simoens, offers a dynamic and stimulating environment for the creation and launch of innovative start-ups and SMEs. In order to provide professional services to companies, the CEIL is organised as a business centre combining flexible office spaces, meeting rooms and a co-working space.

Jean-Marc Simoens is the co-founder and Coordinator of Mind & Market,  a platform that supports innovative projects since 2009 and brings together project owners and skilled entrepreneurs, experts, coaches, companies and supporting organizations. The latter surround project owners with their abilities, experience and knowledge of the market; acting as catalysts for the realization of the project owner’s ideas, accelerating their development and supporting them throughout the first steps following the creation of a start-up.

Through their web platform (afterwork meetings and annual forums) Mind & Market pursues a double objective:

• Build a winning team around the owner(s) of an innovative project,
• Confront the innovation with the market.
