B19 Diplomatic Nights With the ambassador of Germany

B19 is introducing the Diplomatic Nights

At a time when the world is becoming increasingly unstable and unpredictable, it is more important than ever to build bridges, foster dialogue and strengthen international relationships. 

Brussels, the capital of Europe, hosts 184 embassies and more than 40,000 professionals working directly within the international political ecosystem. In this exceptional environment B19 is proud to launch a new initiative: The Diplomatic Nights.

The aim is to create a platform where diplomacy and entrepreneurship can meet, encouraging mutual understanding and opening doors to new partnerships.

Once a month, B19 members will have the opportunity to discover a different country, through a 45-minute in-depth conversation with its distinguished ambassador conducted by our journalist moderator Marlène de Wouters. This interview will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. 

The objective is to better understand each country’s culture, vision and economic landscape, while exploring potential opportunities for collaboration between entrepreneurs and international partners.

These evenings will take place at Lily’s, located in the centre of Brussels’. We are honoured to welcome as the first guest, the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Kingdom of Belgium, His Excellency Martin Kotthaus. During this inaugural evening, we will also unveil B19’s programme for the September season.

With a community of more than 2,000 entrepreneurs in Belgium and over 150 events each year, B19 continuously seeks to create meaningful connections and opportunities for its members. 

With the Diplomatic Nights B19 continues its mission, this time by opening a new door to the diplomatic world at the heart of Brussels.
