ABOUT
MEB & GIPC
A professional platform run by a Belgian non-profit with an international vocation.
MEB
Mobilising skills, opening access to the right people
Moroccan Entrepreneurs in Belgium (MEB) is a professional platform devoted to entrepreneurship, the sharing of expertise and the development of cooperation between Belgium, Morocco and other international ecosystems.
Founded in Belgium around Moroccan and Belgian-Moroccan talent, MEB brings together entrepreneurs, executives, experts, institutions, investors and young talent. Its role is to create a setting in which these actors can get to know one another, compare experiences and identify new opportunities for collaboration.
By bringing together two complementary generations, MEB acts as a catalyst for energy, transmission and economic cooperation. MEB is far more than a network: it is a unifying, professional and committed movement, in the image of an ambitious diaspora ready to build lasting bridges between Belgium and Morocco.
Run within GIPC, MEB retains its own identity and develops a programme combining flagship events, thematic meetings, professional introductions and the promotion of entrepreneurial initiatives.

GIPC
Turning ideas into structured projects
Territories lack neither ideas, nor talent, nor ambition. Yet many high-potential initiatives face the same obstacles: no method, limited access to resources, poor coordination, low visibility and difficulty building lasting partnerships.
The main challenge is therefore not only to generate more ideas. It is to create an environment able to turn them into structured, achievable projects with measurable impact.
It is to address this that the Global Institute for Projects and Cooperation (GIPC) was created: a Belgian non-profit with an international vocation, designed to support the emergence, structuring and development of entrepreneurial, educational, economic, social, cultural, civic and international projects.
GIPC acts as a platform for coordination, project engineering and cooperation. It creates the connections between an ambition, the skills able to deliver it and the partners able to support it.
