Evaluation process

Belgium Impact can count on an evaluation committee from different backgrounds to go through a thorough evaluation process. After a first submission round, all jury members evaluate the cases and come back with a preliminary answer. Based on this, the entrepreneur may receive a go/no-go/still discussing message within 4 weeks' time. 
If the case is still to be discussed, the second round of discussion within the evaluation committee will take place, and the entrepreneur might be invited to submit more information to help guide the decision-making process.
