On 5 October JCI Limburg launched its new concept: Matched. That’s a free business blind date in a star restaurant. Limburg-based entrepreneur duo’s are being matched based on psychological and economical complementarity.

Now exactly one month later, 100 lucky ones are selected from numerous candidates. They will go on a free date on 25 November in De Kristalijn (Genk), JER (Hasselt), Altermezzo, Magis of De Mijlpaal (Tongeren).

JCI stands for junior entrepreneurship: 8 out of the 10 selected entrepreneurs are under 40 years old. On top of that, 12 young entrepreneurs with promising business models are being invited separately at one of the three Captain Tables.

Here they can get into contact with previous winners of the JCI Award Young Entrepreneur, like Wouter Uten and Sven Martens, and the structural partners of JCI Limburg that are supporting this project: Province of Limburg, City of Genk, City of Hasselt, Business Angels Network Vlaanderen, Unizo, VKW and Netwerk Ondernemen.”
