OUR MISSION
We are a non-profit organisation that brings together innovative and high-tech student projects and students-entrepreneurs and supports them with practical support and coaching. We are convinced that we can stimulate entrepreneurship and technological innovation by creating a learning and working environment in which students can really do business.
OUR STORY
2016
Technovation Hub vzw is founded! Its main objective is to guard the dynamic and entrepreneurial character of the (already existing at KU Leuven) student teams active in the field of science, technology and engineering. The Science and Technology Group of KU Leuven is an important founder and initiator of Technovation Hub.
2019
Technovation Hub now also supports student-entrepreneurs and a start-up team is formed.
2020
Technovation Hub goes international and becomes the 30th member of the Design Factory Global Network. Through this international network, Technovation Hub aims not only to exchange experiences with similar organisations, but also to facilitate international student experiences (exchanges, rat relays, ...).
OUR VALUES
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
We facilitate innovative, high-tech
and entrepreneurial student teams
with social relevance.
COMMUNITY
BUILDING
We are an enthusiastic group of students, teachers and companies. Our greatest asset is therefore 'doing business together'.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
We create an environment in which students from the fields of science, engineering and (bio)techology can really do business.
OUR APPROACH
Services
Technovation Hub facilitates innovative, entrepreneurial and high-tech student teams. Through collaborations with educational and industrial partners we offer for example legal, financial, strategic and safety advice to teams.
Community & networking
Our student teams or Technovation Hub itself regularly organise (network) events for members and partners. Partners can also organise activities. After all, entrepreneurship makes our network grow! In addition, the Technovation Hub forms a bridge between the student projects, KU Leuven and the professional field. As a fixed point of contact, we guarantee the development of sustainable partnerships, also across teams and team changes.
