Robin Wauters is a longtime European tech observer who founded the region's premier information portal and market intelligence platform, Tech.eu, and currently the founder and managing director of Profoundo, a strategic communications advisory firm for fast-growth technology scale-ups and investors.

He is part of the founding team behind BeCentral, the digital campus located in Brussels Central Station that has helped thousands of people learn technologies, grow a startup and have a positive impact on society, and helped start the Syndicate One seed investment group, which helps ambitious Belgian early-stage tech company founders realise their visions.

As an executive advisor to the non-profit Pulse Foundation, which exists to promote and stimulate entrepreneurship in Belgium, he is helping to upscale BEyond, the country's only accelerator for technology scale-ups.

Robin is on a mission to boost the competitiveness of the Belgian technology, startup and investment ecosystems, but also at a pan-European scale as an incoming board member of the European Startup Network.
