Success & Excellence
Open up the full range of opportunities for exceptional talent.
The most talented young people deserve the chance to excel. By giving these young people the opportunity to get the best out of themselves today, we are building a stronger society for tomorrow.
The Prince Albert Fund supports young people by building up their management skills via an international network. That way, they can help strengthen the Belgian economy of the future, both at home and beyond.
Through the Boost programme, we offer young people from vulnerable backgrounds an intensive pathway to improve their chance of success in higher education and on the labour market. Genuine talent can be found everywhere, after all, so the challenge is to make sure none of it is wasted.
