Young Voka Brussels Metropolitan is thrilled to invite you to an exclusive lunch session with Frédéric De Gucht, Chairman of Anders (formerly Open Vld), on Tuesday, February 24 at the Anders headquarters in Brussels.
During this lunch session, Frédéric De Gucht will share his perspective on stepping into his role as Chairman of Anders (formerly Open Vld) and reflect on how his experience as an entrepreneur has shaped the way he approaches politics today. He will also speak about his vision for the party and explain how Brussels fits into that broader picture.
After the discussion, enjoy a delicious lunch, continue the conversation in an informal setting, and network with fellow young entrepreneurs.
An inspiring midday moment to exchange ideas, gain new insights, and expand your network!
