On the 9th of October 2025 investors, corporates and start- & scale-ups will come together at Maison de la Poste in Brussels to shape the future of the energy sector. StarWatts gives you the opportunity to discover innovative solutions and make meaningful connections. This will be the place-to-be for innovation within the energy sector. 

StarWatts is a one-day event that offers start-ups a platform to pitch their solutions to a select group of corporates and venture capitalists. A selection of corporates will present specific challenges linked to the energy transition, and start-ups & scale-ups will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas, address these challenges or showcase other promising innovations.

StarWatt's primary objectives are to support the innovation trajectories of corporates, enhance the international recognition of Flemish innovation players, attract international innovation to benefit Belgian corporates (and viceversa), and connect start-ups with venture capitalists. 

The event is a collaboration between Flux50, Blue Cluster, Cluster TWEED and EIT InnoEnergy.

This event will be held in English
