Women Entrepreneurs – Female Executives – Entrepreneurs

A Belgian pioneer association active since 1949


Mission Statement


Since 1949, the FCE-VVB association has been bringing together and supporting women who are active in business and professional life.


They form a dynamic network that promotes dialogue, the sharing of experiences, mutual support, and the development of skills, so that each individual can realize her potential and actively contribute to society.

Vision

To be a leading network for working women and female entrepreneurs, where everyone can find inspiration, support and opportunities.

The FCE VVB aims to foster an inclusive, ambitious and supportive community that empowers women to take their rightful place, make their voices heard and bring about positive change in the economic and professional world.

Philosophy

“Alone we are invisible; together we are invincible.”
Women connect, inspire and support one another.

A community of inspiring, strong, supportive and committed women who dare to start businesses, lead and break new ground. Members can develop businesses, partnerships and international collaborations.

International network


The FCE-VVB is part of the wider ‘Femmes Chefs d’Entreprise – Mondial’ family, an international network with a presence in 125 countries worldwide. Belgium was the first country to join the French association founded by Yvonne Foinant, and one of the seven founding countries of ‘Femmes Chefs d’Entreprises Mondiales’.

By joining us, you’ll become part of a dynamic community and gain access to our events in Belgium and internationally. It’s a real opportunity to expand your network, forge new partnerships and enhance your influence beyond our borders.

Our strength? Cohesion, solidarity and networking across the globe.
