In a world where everything moves too fast, “Buzz In Canap” sets the scene: a sofa, two guests, one voice — and zero script. The topic is only revealed when guests arrive at the studio, for 50 minutes of genuine “open talk” around themes such as entrepreneurship, startups, business and society. Each episode explores the trends shaping our times.
This new monthly series has been available on YouTube and Spotify since January 2026, with a first episode dedicated to networking and influence, as seen through the lens of Gen Z. The show has already welcomed, on the sofa, Jérémie Vanopdenbosch—founder of Business Entourage, author of 15 Golden Rules to Build an Influential Network (Eyrolles) and TEDx speaker—alongside Alexandre Defosse, CEO of Junior Consulting Louvain (JCL). Together, they inaugurated this new format at Studio HIVE5, within the entrepreneur hub Hive5 Coworking.

A hub for entrepreneurs. Founded in 2016 and approaching its first decade, HIVE5 Coworking has established itself as much more than a shared workspace: it is a Belgian entrepreneurial ecosystem. Hive5’s early story began in 2016. Born from a group of visionary intrapreneurs—led by Gaël Van Gijsegem, co-founder and manager—and supported by the Securex Group, HIVE5 embodies a clear mission: an entrepreneur hub — Inspire, Connect, Grow.
Today, spanning more than 5,000 m² across Brussels (Cours Saint-Michel & Mérode) and Louvain-la-Neuve, the network welcomes a vibrant community of 600+ members
and 250+ companies. From freelancers and startups to SMEs, members benefit from a flexible environment (coworking, private offices, meeting rooms, media studios)
and distinctive strategic support services (HR, legal, tax), enabled by the long-term partnership with Securex.
Beyond square metres, HIVE5 is defined by its community spirit and human-first culture. Through a rich events programme and themed spaces (Urban Garden, Palm Beach), the brand cultivates synergies and connection—positioning itself as a growth partner for ambitious entrepreneurs.
