Entrepreneurs' Day

On Friday 20th of November, JOST is organising Entrepreneurs’ Day at MindLabs. An afternoon full of inspiration, knowledge-sharing and new connections for entrepreneurs from Tilburg and the surrounding area.

20 NOV 2026
13.00 - 18.30u

At MindLabs, through programmes such as Futures Lab and Gen-T, we are committed to developing and retaining talent in the region. The link between education and entrepreneurship plays a key role in this. That is why we are keen to offer local entrepreneurs a place to come together, share knowledge and forge new connections.

During two interactive workshops, you’ll discover how to close business deals more effectively and how job satisfaction contributes to successful entrepreneurship.

How did your last deal actually come to be signed? – John Thissen
A workshop on the process behind successful business deals.

Job satisfaction – from ‘having to’ to ‘being able to’ – Louis Baerts
An inspiring keynote talk on job satisfaction and motivation.

We’ll round off the afternoon with a networking drinks reception. A great opportunity to exchange experiences, share ideas and make new contacts.
