Worldwide network

EO Belgium was founded in February 2017 as the Belgian branch of the worldwide entrepreneurs’ network EO Global, which has more than 18,000 members in over 75 countries.

To join, a minimum annual turnover of 1 million euro is required. Priyanka Mehta will head up EO Belgium in 2024.

Successful entrepreneurship

Taunya Renson-Martin, chair of EO Europe, supports Mehta’s dedication and entrepreneurship. “Our organisation is driven by enthusiastic entrepreneurs who actively inspire each other in every way. As head of Marketing & Communications at EO Belgium, Priyanka proved time and time again to be one such powerful leader.”
