The Bolwerk was founded in 2018 with brand name BLWRK and the aim of creating an inclusive environment where entrepreneurs could collaborate and grow. With limited resources, something unique was created that to this day is a term in the coworking landscape. A few challenging years presented themselves. The new company was not fully on track yet when the corona crisis hit hard. The perseverance of the Bolwerk team, the support of the municipality of Edegem and a hard core of coworkers and customers pulled Bolwerk through.
Since early 2022, Sarah & Philippe have fully taken over the wheel of Het Bolwerk and are setting a new course. They continue to build a vibrant and inclusive community of entrepreneurs and freelancers. In addition, Het Bolwerk remains committed to providing a flexible and supportive environment where our members can work, learn and grow.
In and around the Bolwerk there is a mix of different types of businesses, associations and people. We want to cultivate this fertile ground and grow beautiful things out of the mix of creative activities and entrepreneurship. We want to encourage cross-pollination between our members and encourage them to share their talents and work together. This is what makes Het Bolwerk unique and what we want to continue to focus on in the future.
