Brabant Wallon's funded startup activity, based on the ten most recently tracked rounds, is concentrated both sectorally and geographically. Biotechnology accounts for four companies — Cognivia, EsoBiotec, Celyad, and Novadip Biosciences — all headquartered in Mont-saint-guibert, which also hosts consumer electronics firm e-peas. That single municipality appears in five of the ten rows, making it the dominant sub-location in the province by a significant margin. Round sizes across the visible set range from $2M (EsoBiotec, IONNYK) to $23M (Novadip Biosciences' Series B, November 2022).
Activity extends across Nivelles, where My American Shop and Vertuoza each closed $4M Seed rounds in late 2022, and Wavre, where Sortlist raised a $13M Series B in September 2021. The most recent event in this set is Skysun's $19M Series A closed in Genappe in September 2024. Three companies carry Series Unknown classifications, which may reflect undisclosed structure rather than stage. The dataset spans rounds from September 2021 through September 2024.
