Three Belgian startups ready to showcase national innovation on the global stage

GEN Belgium Finals 2026: Belgian Innovation in the Spotlight

The GEN Belgium International Entrepreneurship Finals 2026 brought together the most promising startups and scale-ups from Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia around a shared ambition: accelerating the international growth of Belgian startups and scale-ups.

Organised through the collaboration of Voka, AKT and Beci, with the active support of PMV, Wallonie Entreprendre and finance&invest.brussels, this edition once again demonstrated the Belgian ecosystem’s ability to foster innovative companies with strong growth potential.

For Wallonia, three startups reached the national finals:

🏆 DrugSprint – Walloon winner 2026
Founded by Anna Lechanteur and Robin Crunenberg as a spin-off from the University of Liège, DrugSprint develops 3D-printed personalised medicines, enabling pharmacies and hospitals to produce treatments tailored to the specific needs of individual patients.

Fullyn
Led by François Luthers, Fullyn helps construction companies improve project profitability through smarter financial management and the digitalisation of business processes.

AgriParcelles
Developed by Amélie Joassart, Lucas Jacques and Raphaël De Coninck, AgriParcelles is a digital platform that simplifies agricultural land management and facilitates exchanges between landowners and farmers.

Alongside DrugSprint, two other Belgian startups secured their place in the Entrepreneurship World Cup:

In Flanders, FAQIR, founded by Hans Constandt, is developing a secure platform that enables citizens to centralise and share their health data, helping improve healthcare, medical research and innovation.
In Brussels, Shayp, founded by Grégoire De Hemptinne, helps building owners and managers detect water leaks and reduce water consumption through intelligent monitoring technology.

Thanks to this selection, the three winners join the international ecosystem of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and will benefit from increased visibility as well as growth and networking opportunities through the Entrepreneurship World Cup.

The GEN Belgium Finals once again demonstrate that Belgian startups have the talent, innovation and ambition needed to succeed on the international stage.
