It all started in 2014 at Place Saint Gudule in Brussels.
BNP Paribas Fortis, together with another private partner, decided to take over a co-working place and to transform it into a platform where companies and tech start ups can meet, connect and grow.
Very soon the village in Brussels grew with a second floor, and became a reference in the Brussels landscape.
A few months later, it became clear that Co.Station needed to be a multi-companies and non-exclusive initiative and thus more global partners (Proximus, SD Worx and USG) came on board.
At the same time, Co.Station launched itself into more cities, Ghent in 2016, Charleroi followed early 2018 with the support of SambreInvest.
In September 2018, Co.Station was pleased to announce the official launch of ‘The Beacon’. The Beacon is a partnership between City of Antwerp, Port of Antwerp, University of Antwerp, research centre imec and technology federation Agoria, managed by Co.Station.
The ambition is to cover the whole Belgium and to be present in the cities driving innovation and entrepreneurship.
