Last Thursday, #EuronextBrussels hosted its annual New Year event, organised in partnership with GUBERNA - Instituut voor Bestuurders/Institut des Administrateurs, the Belgian institute for corporate governance. This year’s event brought together key participants from Belgium’s financial ecosystem to celebrate and recognise organisations for their strong performance and contribution to Belgium’s capital markets. 🏛️ The event opened with the annual state of governance address by Sandra Gobert (she/her), who highlighted why governance remains the backbone of long-term value creation.
