Book a free demoWith the end of the year very near, we thought it made sense to compile a list of the influential Belgian entrepreneurs on the professional social network LinkedIn. These entrepreneurs are well-connected business leaders who engage quite often with content that other posts, have a lot of interesting connections on the social network and tend to write their own content on LinkedIn as well.
So we sat back, relaxed, I mean researched ;-) the world wide web and came up with the list of most influential Belgian entrepreneurs on LinkedIn. Here we go!

Jurgen has certainly earned his fair share of entrepreneurial pedigree. He launched a couple of companies that have become house brands within specific domains, such as Clear2Pay and more recently SmartFin Capital.
