About

Lucas studied Energy Engineering and has since built a career across a range of startup and entrepreneurship roles, most recently at Botanix Labs as Chief of Staff. He knows firsthand that the path rarely looks like the plan.

The world at your feet, but what now?

14:00 – 14:20

You worked hard. You got one of the best engineering degrees Belgium has to offer. For a moment, it feels like the hard part is over. Then reality hits. Lucas shares his experience of graduating with sky-high expectations and what it taught him about dealing with setbacks, an indifferent world, and the gap between the career you pictured and the one you actually build. This talk won't give you a roadmap, but it will leave you a little more at peace with the fact that figuring it out is the whole point.
