Start your own sustainable place in Brussels
HOME SPRING ’21 MENTORS FAQ ABOUT
We received 21 applications. We interviewed 9 of them and we ended up selecting 5. It was a tough call. We wanted to fund more but we are budget constrained for this first edition. So we ended up picking what we believe is a great sample of the talent we have in Brussels.
Selected projects

🍞 Soleil Bakery
Antoine Martinot wants to start his own micro bakery in Schaerbeek. Whereas a classic bakery requires a €70k professional oven and working endless hours to make it financially sustainable, one could start a micro bakery with just a €2300 oven. He will use local and organic ingredients.
