In partnership with

Belgium holds a pivotal role in Europe’s leadership landscape and is home to a vibrant diverse community, creating a rich tapestry of cultures and perspectives. Belgium isn’t just another country—it’s a mosaic of languages, cultures, and histories. With three official languages and Brussels standing as one of the most cosmopolitan cities globally, Belgium ‘s history and immigration legacies shape its very identity.

We will convene 20 women who reside, work in or just adore Brussels. We have paid careful attention to invite women from all ages, sectors, educational levels, regions and nationalities––reflecting the city’s diversity in our expedition. The lessons, conversations and 

musings from our expedition will reveal the multiple forms women’s leadership has taken in Brussels as well as point towards a shared––and shareable––common ground. 

In partnership with Belgium 40 under 40 and Merode, Women Emerging will lead a virtual and transformative expedition for women in Brussels. 

As individuals and as a collective, we invite you, to join us, from May 2025 to November 2025, to invest in your leadership journey, create powerful connections with other women in the community, and be a part of the global reframing of the concept of leadership itself.
