Due to sanitary measures regarding the covid-19 pandemy, this event was cancelled. However, as our annual Gala is typically the main fundraising event to sponsor promising INSEAD MBA applicants, alumni who purchased a ticket can choose to request a refund or can help us in supporting Belgian MBA candidates by considering their ticket a sponsoring of our Belgian Scholarship Fund.

Felix Van de Maele is nominated for his visionary approach of the concept “Data Intelligence” and his impressive track record in bringing Collibra to a global leadership position with a continuous focus on innovation. 

In the good spirit of our association, this year’s edition of the Innovator Prize will be a truly innovative event. Our Alumni have accepted to open up their homes and welcome small groups of max 10 guests for a new dinner experience, where the same sanitary rules as in a restaurant will apply and during which we will connect with Felix Van de Maele in New York for the official part of our event.

To appoint the house where you will be welcomed, we will need an address of reference which we will take into account when distributing our guests. We truly hope that our creative approach will convince you to this year again - or for the first time - be part of our prestigious event. Like other years, the proceeds of our flagship event will allow us to support promising Belgian MBA applicants to fund their studies at INSEAD through our Belgian Alumni and Council Scholarship.

In these challenging times, more than ever, we count on our strong network of INSEAD alumni, corporate connections and friends to build a memorable event together with our INSEAD Innovator Prize Committee to celebrate our 33rd INSEAD Innovator Prize recipient.
