Student Entrepreneur Retreat
From ambition to direction. From idea to IMPACT. Summer edition, August 2027.
From ambition to direction. From idea to IMPACT.
Belgium’s student-entrepreneur status gives students a unique opportunity: discovering entrepreneurship while you keep studying. You can put your talent, ideas and ambition into something tangible, find your first clients and discover along the way what kind of entrepreneur you want to become. Maybe you’re still starting from a first idea. Maybe you’ve already started and are running into questions about growth, direction or structure. Both are welcome. During IMPACT [Student Entrepreneur Retreat] you step out of the daily rush for a while to build purposefully on yourself and your business.
The practice of entrepreneurship
We get hands-on with topics such as the student-entrepreneur status, the key do’s and don’ts, concept development, pricing, numbers and bookkeeping.
We also look at how you can sharpen your idea, how you present yourself and which next steps your business needs.
The goal? Honest conversations, useful insights and concrete action.
The entrepreneur first, then the business
A strong business starts with the person building it.
It’s hard to build a business sustainably if you don’t take good care of yourself, don’t learn to communicate clearly or don’t take responsibility for your choices and energy.
That is why this retreat also starts from the [IMPACT] foundations. With movement, reflection, healthy meals prepared in-house and real conversations, we create space to learn to be not only a smarter but also a stronger entrepreneur.
Small group. Focused attention.
We deliberately keep the group small and work with different entrepreneurs and experts.
That leaves enough room to look at every idea, every business and every participant individually. That way we guarantee feedback that fits your stage, questions and ambitions.
After the retreat, we stay your sidekick.
For three months you can come to [IMPACT] with questions, challenges and new ideas. We think along with you, connect you with relevant people where possible and help you actually take the steps you set during the retreat. So you leave with inspiration, direction, a network and support for what comes next.
And there’s more to come.
We are working on additional benefits and extras for all participants. Think of relevant tools, expertise, contacts and opportunities that can help you grow after the retreat too.
As soon as these benefits are confirmed, we’ll add them to this page.
There are two editions in 2027: the spring edition in April and the summer edition in August. Prefer the spring? Check out the spring edition.
