🌱 🌊 What a wonderful day to visit Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT)! Together with New York City Economic Development Corporation, Filip Vanden Bulcke hosted fellow Consuls General and colleagues to catch a glimpse of BAT - an impressive four-million-square-foot campus that is home to over one hundred businesses and over four thousand jobs. As the premier affordable NY hub for modern industrial businesses, entrepreneurs, and working families, BAT is a modern industrial campus, nested at the South Brooklyn waterfront. Fueled by NYCEDC, BAT will also be a frontrunner in climate innovation. By providing several pilot zones with live, built environments, climate tech companies will be able to test, refine, de-risk, and demonstrate their products in New York City’s complex urban environment. Thank you for the great tour! Embassy of Belgium in the United States of America hub.brussels in New York Wallonia Export & Investment Agency #belgiumintheus #climateinnovation

Featuring 🇧🇪 's boldest, The Entrepreneurs series highlights stories about vision, perseverance and how to make it big in the States. Today in The Entrepreneurs, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Le Botaniste, Laurent Francois. “Let’s meet at the carrot!” Shortly after we hit the send button, Laurent pops up—a tall man with a welcoming smile and ready to roll. Scrolling through the photos, we agree that posing next to the carrot sounded better than the actual outcome. “Yes, the light is off. Let me fix it!” As Laurent stacks two wobbly stools on top of each other to reach the culprit light bulb, dramatic scenes start playing in our heads: a fall, broken limbs, a hospital visit…. But Laurent manages to unscrew the light bulb and keeps a cool head—a key feature to have as an entrepreneur. In 2015, Le Botaniste—a plant-based, organic restaurant developed by Laurent and fellow Belgian entrepreneur Alain Coumont, opened its first location in Ghent. Four months later, a second restaurant opened its doors in New York. “If you want to grow as a company and expand on a national level, you first need to prove that your concept works locally. That’s why for now, our focus is on NY. And we’re doing great! This year, we’ll be opening two new locations!” When we ask Laurent about his drive and passion for his company, he couldn’t be more clear: “Between me and Le Botaniste, it’s a love affair! Serving your customers delicious healthy and affordable food while knowing you also have a positive impact on the environment is a fantastic feeling to have! Of course, we've faced rough moments too, like the pandemic. But even under those difficult circumstances, there was a silver lining: people became more conscious of the importance of a healthy diet. This open-mindedness towards plant-based food led to an influx of new customers.” As we indulge in Le Botaniste’s signature chili, we smile and say: “This is so good!” “I know! The moment people try Le Botaniste, they keep coming back, even those who are skeptical about a plant-based diet. I once convinced a die-hard meat lover to taste our chili, and he loved it! Le Botaniste's success is not only centered around the positive impact it has on the environment and people’s health, though. Our teams are just as crucial—turning every lunch or dinner into an unforgettable experience.” Filip Vanden Bulcke Embassy of Belgium in the United States of America #theentrepreneurs #lebotaniste #belgiumintheus

Together with hub.brussels New York and Art Deco Society of New York, we had the immense pleasure to host a wonderful presentation by Emanuele Rebasti -member of the Brussels Art Deco Society.

As we were gearing up for the Federal and European elections, Celine De Vriese joined us for a few weeks and proved to be an excellent asset to our team! Thank you for your hard work, cool spirit and great sense of humor. We hope to see you soon… Here or in Brussels! "It was fantastic to help organize the Belgian and European elections at the Consulate General! I assisted in setting up the polling station, managed voter registration, and helped with the election’s organization in general. I’m always in for a new challenge! So my experience here was very rewarding, offering me a unique glimpse into the importance of consular services for Belgians in New York! A big thank you to my colleagues for their support and guidance throughout this journey!"
