The Shift is Belgium’s first, largest and most diverse sustainability community. Born ten years ago from a cross-over between business, civil society and academia, it has become the place where people come together to accelerate the transition.

By joining forces, we tackle the most complex sustainability challenges in our country. Because together, we can see and do more.
