Why take part in our workshops?

Did you know that talking about your difficulties helps you feel better? Putting your feelings into words can help you deal with the situation more effectively. Are you in a difficult situation and don't know who to contact for help? We're here to help.

Every week, we offer you events specifically designed to answer your questions and provide solutions. In individual or group sessions, our experts are there to listen to you, guide you and, above all, provide practical solutions to your situation. More often than you think, there are solutions to your problem. Bankruptcy is not the only possible outcome! This is where we come in, as a Chamber of Commerce, to help you meet the challenges that lie in your path as an entrepreneur. If you wish to remain anonymous, that's possible.

The CEd Relance training courses: a BECI initiative, supported by the Brussels-Capital Region

With the support of the Brussels-Capital Region, BECI and CEd Relance have set up a series of ‘Prevention/Recovery’ training courses to support Brussels entrepreneurs, strengthen their skills, facilitate economic recovery and contribute to the sustainable growth of businesses in the Brussels-Capital Region.

As part of this cycle, one training course and/or workshop per month is offered. These training sessions are designed to be very practical, with concrete examples and advice directly applicable to the day-to-day management of companies.

The themes of the workshops and training courses in the Relance Prevention series are chosen and adapted according to the current economic context. The themes selected enable us to pursue our information, preventive and curative objectives.

This training programme also includes support groups for entrepreneurs. The aim is to provide entrepreneurs in distress with a place to talk and a sympathetic ear. This is an essential aspect. Because going bankrupt, bouncing back or getting back on your feet is not just about dealing with the figures or finding legal solutions. To get back on track, the human aspect is essential.

Register for upcoming workshops by visiting our agenda de Beci et rejoignez ainsi la communauté des entrepreneurs bruxellois qui souhaitent s’investir dans la pérennité et la croissance de leur entreprise !
