The leading incubator for your innovative projects in Brussels
Our Life Sciences & Tech expertise is here for your start-up
Give your innovation lasting momentum
Joining BLSI statistically increases your chances of success by 33%. While 63% of Brussels-based companies are still in business after five years, our incubated companies boast a remarkable success rate of 84%. BLSI pulls companies out of isolation – one of the main factors behind failure – thanks to a unique community of peers and experts.
Located on the UCLouvain campus, right next to the Saint-Luc University Clinics, BLSI supports entrepreneurs in setting up innovative and technology-driven businesses. With the backing of the Brussels-Capital Region, BLSI guarantees a neutral and impartial public framework for your project.
While health and life sciences are our traditional core areas (e-health, MedTech, Biotech), BLSI is the home base for any ambitious, innovative project. We offer ongoing strategic support and modular workspaces (offices and labs) to accelerate your commercial development.
Take advantage of an inspiring environment to help your project grow
Private offices, laboratories, meeting rooms and car parks
Develop your business in a setting designed to ensure focus and confidentiality. We only offer private, secure workspaces that can adapt as your team grows.
Strategic coaching and financial support
Benefit from personalised support, starting with a 90-minute strategic consultation with our CEO to scrutinise your business model. We then help boost your chances of success going forward: business plan, access to funding and grants.
Close links to the healthcare, academic and business sectors
Enjoy direct access to an extensive network of experts. As an institutional partner, BLSI lends credibility to your project and speeds up your procedures with public bodies (hub.brussels, Innoviris, Finance&Invest.brussels) and the medical sector.
6 strategic pillars for building a sustainable business
Because an ambitious project benefits from being tested against reality, we have built our offering around six concrete commitments.
Our role is to mitigate the risks along your path: we challenge your assumptions, connect you with strategic experts and fast-track your real-world experience.
You are not just renting a space within our community – you are securing your path to success.
