I attended today a conference in Gent, “Ondernemen in Vlaanderen”
Earlier today I twittered: “In Dutch now, but why the talks about talent come always to the same diagnosis?”.
This short article (800 words) is to share some considerations from few conferences that I followed today.
The focus is startups- but you can (as I did in the pasts) use the same principles in other activities, from projects to business development.
Well, the title is maybe a little bit too much- but it is certain to attract you attention
This short article summarizes some ideas and information I discussed or collected while attending few events
At a further stage, something more structure will appear on BusinessFitnessMagazine.Com
For free, as usual
Betagroup Brussels. For startups: 5 minutes. a project. an audience.

Beyond microfinancing: the vision
Monday, October 26th, 2009If you pick up any newspaper or magazine covering economic issues, every month you will find articles about microfinancing.
The idea of microfinancing expand globalization benefits available to developing countries, by changing the way funding is accessible.
Figures do not lie. And the picture that is projected, despite the 2006 Nobel peace prize to the Grameen Bank founder, is closer to the old way of managing financial relationships with developing countries, creating what was described already in 1990 in a Museum in Germany as the “spiral of debt”.
The idea? Merging microfinancing and charity to deliver self-sustaining development.
This article is the sequel of the “Beyond Microfinancing” article, published on 2009-10-12.
Focus: an action plan for ethical micro-financing.
