28DIGITAL

28DIGITAL operates a service-led innovation platform model. It creates value by matching startups with corporates, investors, mentors, and funding opportunities, then monetises the resulting programmes through consulting-style fees, cohort or programme pricing, fundraising support fees, education revenue, and in some cases performance-linked compensation such as success fees or equity participation. The model depends on ecosystem access, curation, programme design, and execution rather than transaction processing or large-scale software licensing.

28DIGITAL is a Belgium-based innovation and venture support organisation operating across Europe. It provides managed programmes and advisory services for startups, scaleups, corporates, researchers, and ecosystem partners, with a particular emphasis on digital and deep-tech venture creation, corporate-startup collaboration, fundraising support, incubation, mentoring, and market expansion. It also offers online innovation and entrepreneurship education.

The company makes money primarily through programme-based service fees, consulting engagements, training revenue, and hybrid funding structures that can include success fees or equity-linked economics. Its customers are mainly businesses and institutions buying innovation services, alongside startups purchasing or participating in growth and fundraising support, and a smaller direct learner audience for online courses. The business is positioned as a European ecosystem intermediary rather than a pure software vendor.
