Leuven MindGate is a member of the High Level Forum since 2017 and is the only Belgian ecosystem represented. The gathering is a unique opportunity to meet and to learn from top people from the triple helix (companies, government and knowledge institutes) of the leading innovation hubs in the world.

Johan Merlevede, managing director of Leuven MindGate was very pleased about the contacts he made in Sweden: "Many attendees were highly interested to attend the and& festival, which will be held in May in Leuven. We’ll certainly follow-up on the contacts with Lund ecosystem, it's only 4 hours away from Leuven and in many ways very comparable with the goals of Leuven MindGate. Expect the launch of the “triple L” program: 'Leuven Loves Lund/Lund Loves Leuven'," Johan added.
