Last night, the BCBL Business Club Belgium-Luxembourg, in partnership with Mix Brussels, hosted an evening featuring Rene Beltjens, on the theme “Boldness Without Borders: Entrepreneurial Excellence Between Belgium and Luxembourg”.

In an interview led by Rik Vandenberghe, President of the BCBL, René Beltjens reflected on his entrepreneurial journey and his role in the development of Alter Domus, which he joined as a co-founder in 2008 and helped transform from a local firm into a leading international player.

The discussion also explored his more recent venture, Mix Brussels, which he co-founded in 2021 in Watermael-Boitsfort, as well as his ambition to expand this new hospitality concept internationally.

His career reflects an entrepreneurial spirit built on boldness, optimism and resilience. These qualities were among those recognised when he was named #EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 in Luxembourg.

The conversation also touched on another dimension of his commitment: #2Wheels4Purpose, a charitable cycling challenge covering 7,000 kilometres across 20 countries, from Estonia to Gibraltar, in support of breast cancer research.

The evening provided an opportunity to share experiences, reflect on entrepreneurial journeys and highlight the strong ties between the Belgian and Luxembourg business communities.

Our sincere thanks go to René Beltjens for sharing his experience and insights, to Rik Vandenberghe for leading the interview, and to Mix Brussels for its partnership and warm welcome.

Thank you also to all our guests for joining us and contributing to such engaging discussions.
