AFC Leuven was founded in 2007 with the sole intention to build a bridge between the academic and the business world. During the education of students, soft skills and personal competences were regularly neglected. Therefore, AFC relies on three pillars: Events, Workshops and Projects. Academics for Companies strives as an interfaculty platform to provide these soft skills. Our maxim is “Explore, Learn, Apply”. Later we expanded to Ghent and Brussels.

AFC is active in Leuven, Brussels and Ghent.

Yes! all our activities are free for students.

There are many advantages! If you present during an event, host a workshop or collaborate with students on a project, you get the chance to personally get to know the students. This is an opportunity to create brand awareness among a wide variety of students who will soon graduate. AFC can also offer you CV's of high-potential students and exposure for your company on our social media.

AFC Leuven launched a brand new internship platform Students@Startups in 2019 to connect start-ups with highly motivated students at KU Leuven. We did this to increase awareness and appreciation of start- ups and and to make it easier for students to find an instructive and challenging internship.
