Deloitte made a commitment to the startup and scale-up community a few years ago, aiming to foster growth and help companies realize their full potential through our Scale-Up Ecosystem Program.
Our approach reflects the depth of our commitment to scaling companies:
Connection: We connect start/scale-ups with our extensive portfolio of clients (both enterprise and privately owned/backed).
Visibility & Recognition: Over the past decade, we’ve hosted 11 Belgian Fast50 and Rising Star editions, ranking the fastest-growing technology companies in Belgium and identifying the most promising ones. Through the EMEA Fast500 programme, we enable international benchmarking. We also foster connections through informal yet impactful events like Beers & Burgers.
Collaboration: We explore partnerships and alliances with scaling companies, ranging from co-creation to implementation and going-to-market together. By collaborating, we drive mutual growth, unlock opportunities, and accelerate international scale.
Expertise: Our one-stop-shop approach ensures you are supported every step of the way across critical domains, including:
Growth strategy
Legal, risk, and compliance
Accounting, tax, and assurance
Digital operations
Technology scalability and security
Funding and liquidity management
Talent and organization
Influencing: We help create the right climate for founders and investors to thrive by actively participating in the public debate. Through thought leadership, data-driven insights, and global research, we shape the public discourse. In 2025, we launch our 6th Scale-Up Confidence Survey Report to continue driving meaningful insights.
Deloitte has been at the forefront of the European startup ecosystem for years: connecting with the brightest minds and most innovative ventures. Yet, what truly sets Deloitte apart is our ability to combine global scale with a multidisciplinary approach, making us a powerful enabler for scaling companies.
