About
Leuven MindGate is a non-profit network based in Leuven, Belgium working on community development, employment & skills.
Leuven MindGate is a non-profit collaboration platform based in Leuven, Belgium, that strengthens and promotes the Leuven Innovation Region in innovation, health and high-tech. It connects companies, researchers, startups, investors and public partners through B2B events, curated introductions, regional initiatives and strategic match-making. Its focus domains are health and life sciences, deep tech and advanced engineering, and digital and AI. The organisation runs a closed Talent Pool to help members recruit and retain talent, and co-founded International House Leuven to support international residents. It is funded largely by membership fees, with lower rates offered to smaller organisations, nonprofits and startups. Members help steer priorities through a General Assembly and board nominations. The team is small, and the network counts 444 member organisations.
