About our Keynote Speaker: Jürgen Ingels

The guest speaker that evening was Jürgen Ingels, a Belgian entrepreneur from Roeselare, who founded Clear2Pay in 2001, a company specialized in payment software for banks. After its sale in 2014, he tirelessly continued to support various financial technology companies, either directly or through the investment fund Smartfin Capital he founded.
Others will also know Jürgen Ingels from the FOUR program de Leeuwenkuil (2018), in which he, together with four other top entrepreneurs, went in search of the “golden idea” to further support starting entrepreneurs. During the Round Table, Jürgen spoke about his recently published book “50 Lessons for Entrepreneurs” and about the future challenges of digital transformation.
