Incubator for horeca and retail: now accepting applications

Do you dream of having your own restaurant? Do you have a good idea for an original entrepreneurial concept? If so, then taking part in Kokotte (horeca incubator) or L’Auberge Espagnole (retail and business incubator) is an ideal way to test your concept in the real world, quickly getting it up to speed. And this is all under the close guidance of our industry experts, of course. Looking to soon have your own pop-up, store or workshop in Brussels? Send us your application right away!

At hub.brussels we believe that entrepreneurial talent in Brussels deserves a platform where it can be showcased and nurtured. That’s why hub.brussels has created several business incubators, where young or starting entrepreneurs can temporarily put their horeca or retail concept into practice. With all the trimmings, including a real clientele!

A springboard to launch your business or restaurant

Auberge Espagnoles | retail & businesses

  • What? 2 business incubators in pop-up form
  • For whom? All starting Brussels entrepreneurs who want to start their own business
  • Where? In Etterbeek (Chaussée de Wavre 331) and in Saint-Gilles (Avenue Fonsny 48). Plus: the opening of two brand new Auberges at the end of this year! *
  • How to apply? Participants can apply from May 7 to June 14, 2021

* We are creating a reserve list of candidates for the planned opening of the new, additional locations of L’Auberge Espagnole.

Kokotte | horeca  

  • What? A horeca incubator in pop-up form
  • For whom? All starting Brussels horeca entrepreneurs who want to open their own restaurant or food concept
  • Where? rue des Bouchers 30, 1000 Brussels
  • How to apply? Participants can apply from May 7 to June 14, 2021

Challenge & fine-tune your idea (before its launch)

Incubator for business ideas

Is your idea not quite fully developed, or are you not yet ready for the real litmus test (= a stay at Kokotte or L’Auberge Espagnole)? If so, then participating in our idea incubator is undoubtedly for you! Through this program we help you to challenge your concept or idea, so you can quickly adjust and fine-tune it until it’s completely ready for the real launch.

  • What? A week of guidance from experts, to further define and sharpen your business idea. It certainly prepares you for taking up residence in one of our incubators, if this makes sense as your next step. Or…who knows, maybe you can even directly take the plunge and start your own business.  
  • For whom? All ambitious entrepreneurs who want to start a business  
  • Where? Brussels
  • How to register? Participants can register from 7 May to 17th May 2021
