Press release

Taking advantage of this year’s Google I/0 conference, we are organizing the 4th WebMission in San Francisco from May 9th to May 15th, 2011.

The Webmission is a grassroots initiative by Belgian Web, Tech and Mobile entrepreneurs to promote Belgian entrepreneurship and its startups abroad.

It consists of a group of Belgian web tech & mobile entrepreneurs, bloggers, journalists, developers and tech enthusiasts that have voluntarily joined forces to promote abroad the many good ideas and projects that are brewing in the country.

Going forward the aim of the WebMission is after the successful missions towards US and Spain also to reach out towards new regions such as India, China, Brazil, Canada and the UK.

If you are interested in covering the event and want additional information, please contact us at info@webmission.be
