Pitch. Convince. Get ready for Paris!
Are you looking for funding, visibility and valuable connections to accelerate your startup?
The Fundtruck is back in Belgium! This unique outdoor pitch competition gives ambitious startups the opportunity to present their company directly to investors, VCs, incubators and key players of the innovation ecosystem.
Organized by Maddyness in partnership with EuroQuity Belgium and hub.brussels, the Fundtruck has already helped dozens of startups gain exposure and expand their network.
On October 9, 2026, 15 Belgian startups – 5 from each region – will take on the challenge at Greenbizz in Brussels.
The format? Around 3 minutes to grab the jury’s attention, without slides, followed by a Q&A session to defend your vision, traction and growth potential.
Three winners – one from Wallonia, one from Brussels and one from Flanders – will then represent Belgium at the Grand Final in Paris, competing against the winners of the French regional stages.
Who should apply?
We’re looking for innovative startups with growth ambitions and international potential. The competition is sector-agnostic and open to startups from all industries.
Why apply?
- Pitch your startup in front of investors and innovation experts.
- Increase your visibility within the Belgian startup ecosystem.
- Compete to become one of the three Belgian finalists and represent your region at the Grand Final in Paris this December, where you’ll face the French regional winners for the international title.
Belgian startups have an excellent track record! Previous finalists include ReVision Implant (2025), Better (2024), Clean Water Global (2023), Wanit (2022), Bounce Sports (2021) and Shayp (2020). Clean Water Global even won the international final.
