  1. Owner-managers of Flemish growth companies more closely involved in operational policy once again due to Covid-19

    More than one year after the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, managers of Flemish growth companies are gradually looking to the future once again. A future in which quite a few things will change profoundly, it turns out. Owner-managers themselves indicate that a different leadership style is imperative and that their role within the company is shifting to more operational tasks.

On the other hand, the pandemic also provided an incentive for the sustainable development of many new and innovative products.
