On 18th March 2015, Innovation & Développement in Louvain-la-Neuve organised a conference on the "Women entrepreneurship 2020 - What Future?".

Philippe Vanrie , CEO of EBN, was invited too participate actively as speaker as EBN is also involved in this challenge through the WeHubs project.

The event was attended by Willy Borsus, Belgian Federal Minister for SMEs.  Following the conference debates on the future of women entrepreneurship, Willy Borsus, made a public commitment to his colleague Alexandre De Croo, Deputy Premier, to integrate the gender/women entrepreneurship dimension in the plan and digital agenda of the federal government.

The Cabinet of Mr De Croo is currently in contact with Anne Gadisseur, CEO of Innovation & Développement , to organise beginning of April a meeting with a delegation (of 3 to 4 women) to take up this big challenge.
