The Brussels Tech Mixer and Social meets every Friday at 6:00 PM at Time Out Pub on Rue Auguste Orts 32, with online tickets priced at €3. Organizers bill the event as afterwork drinks and networking open to anyone in tech, AI, data or IT.

Brussels hosts 319 active tech startups, roughly one third of the Belgian total, and the scene has grown at a 10 percent compound annual rate between 2023 and 2025. Regular meetups give founders and engineers a low-cost way to stay connected while the city records fresh funding rounds.

Weekly fixtures

Tech Tuesdays run at the Hackerspace in Molenbeek, where non-members can visit the space. Doors at TechTuesday at HSBXL open at 18:00 on the same day for the hacker-focused night. Both events repeat without requiring membership or advance registration beyond the listed schedule.

Monthly line-up

CryptoWednesday, run by DaoBrussels, gathers on the first Wednesday evening of each month at The Commons Hub near Central Station. Brotaru draws game developers, Databeers.brussels hosts data-science talks over beer, Big Data Brussels covers business and technical data topics, and the Google Developer Group focuses on Android and Google tools. Each meets once a month at venues listed on Eventbrite and Meetup calendars.

Brussels digital startups raised €330 million in the first half of 2026. That figure already tops the €214 million collected across all of 2025 and exceeds the full-year total for 2020. Event listings on Eventbrite and Meetup.com show the same recurring slots available for the coming weeks.

Check the Eventbrite page for the Brussels Tech Mixer or the Meetup listings for Brotaru and Databeers.brussels to confirm the next date and reserve the €3 ticket when required.
