    Gong to conclude EnterNext TechShare program 2016-2017

    To conclude the second successful EnterNext TechShare program 2016 – 2017 the Dutch participants and partners sound the gong. TechShare is an educational program designed specifically for fast growing tech companies who want to know more about the process of an IPO. The participants have had educational sessions on the capital market in recent months.

    TechShare is a unique pan-European program that helps directors of tech companies to better understand the role and functioning of financial markets. Entrepreneurs are thus better able to assess the chances of a listing in relation to their specific projects and to take time to prepare.

    The program began in September 2015 in France with a kick-off where 30 companies were present from France, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands. The customized trainings are organized and supported by regional expert partners.

    Dutch partners of the TechShare program are Deloitte, Citigate FF, ABN AMRO and Rutgers & Posch. In four sessions they discussed all relevant issues of the capital market. The open discussions and case studies have resulted in a very useful and professional program for entrepreneurs. 3D Hub, Backbase, BENCOM, Dynamic Credit, Evision- Software, Lebara, Luxexcel, Microes, RES, Treeway and Voiceworks are the participating Dutch companies in the TechShare program.

    ‘’TechShare has given me the opportunity to expand my knowledge and capabilities of the financial markets more. I found the content of the program and the guidance from the partners very valuable. It is an accessibly way to, when the time is right, make a well-informed choice on the possible funding of Treeway.’’ said Inez de Greef, CEO Treeway.

    Due to the success of this second edition, the third edition of TechShare starts this fall, with hopefully equally interesting participants as last year.

    La Semaine de l’Argent 2017

    “Epargner ou pas?”… telle est la question que se posent nombre d’entre nous. C’est aussi le thème central de la deuxième édition de la Semaine de l’Argent que Wikifin.be organise avec le support de nombreux partenaires du 27 mars au 2 avril 2017. Objectif de l’initiative : initier un large débat autour des questions d’argent et braquer les projecteurs sur l’éducation financière. Au cours de cette semaine, diverses activités ont été organisées en Belgique, tant pour l’enseignement que pour le grand public.

    Euronext s’associe à la Semaine de l’Argent en accueillant, tout comme l’année passée, le coup d’envoi officiel de la semaine dans ses locaux lors d’une bell ceremony en présence de plusieurs ministres. Ce sont les écoles lauréates du Wikifin@School Challenge, à savoir l’Institut Saint-Boniface (Ixelles) et l’école Colomaplus (Malines), qui ont eu l’honneur de sonner la cloche aux côtés du ministre des finances Johan Van Overtveldt et du président de la FSMA Jean-Paul Servais.  

    Ensuite, la Reine Mathilde a ouvert la conférence sur l’éducation financière par une allocution et la remise des prix du Wikifin@school Challenge.

    Lors de la conférence, les résultats d’une grande enquête sur l’épargne des belges “Epargner… ou pas?” ont été dévoilés. Pourquoi le Belge épargne-t-il autant ? Qu’est-ce qui influence son comportement ?...Voilà quelques-uns des thèmes abordés par cette étude dont les conclusions peuvent être consultées ici. Ensuite, les principaux acteurs de l’éducation financière en Belgique ont débattu des défis auxquels ils ont à faire face et du rôle de l’éducation financière dans la société de demain. Les ministres Kris Peeters, Johan Van Overtveldt et Marie-Martine Schyns ont notamment pris part aux discussions.
