By Helen Lyons Verified| The Bulletin (Belgium) Verified While a record number of IT companies are leaving the Belgian capital, the loss is offset by the continuous creation of digital start-ups, new figures have revealed. An estimated 166 tech companies left Brussels in 2023 – almost four times more than a decade earlier when just 45 packed up and moved, according to figures from the Belgian statistical office Statbel. But there has also been a 27.6% increase in new start-ups over the same period.
By Helen Lyons Verified| The Bulletin (Belgium) Verified Belgian soprano Jodie Devos has died at the age of 35 as a result of breast cancer, her agent has announced. An undisputed star in the international opera scene, Devos died “surrounded by her family and close friends, as a result of breast cancer which forced her to cancel several recent engagements”, the announcement said. Devos performed all over the world during her 10-year career and was the second prize-winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2014.
By Helen Lyons Verified| The Bulletin (Belgium) Verified After an audit revealed "unacceptable" safety risks at the Brussels Expo centre, its board of directors is being forced to allocate at least €1 million towards emergency repairs. The main concern is deteriorating infrastructure, L’Echo reports. A large chunk of stone fell off a cornice of Palais 10 just last week. The Brussels Expo includes 11 buildings, not all of which have yet been examined. Only Palais 2, 5, 7, 10 and 11 have been investigated so far.
