The Ripple #5 was a blast! It is like speeddating for transatlantic entrepreneurs. This valuable concept and platform for quick introductions allowed me take my first steps as a BelCham Ambassador and learn about the needs of companies and professionals. I look forward to seeing you at #6 later this year!

Merchery is a curation of exquisite, sustainable, and customizable products that bring corporate brands to life through tangible items that communicate your brand’s identity, shared values, and culture.
Founded in April 2020 by entrepreneurs Benoit Fortpied and Simon Polet, Merchery’s purpose is to create ‘Merch that Matters’ by moving away from cheap, unwanted items typically associated with corporate swag and placing design at the core of the business, prioritizing quality over quantity.
Partner Organizations
The power of this initiative lies in the fact that it is organized by a collective of chambers of commerce, business associations, & accelerators across the USA and Europe. Together we invite our communities and members (numbering an audience of over 150,000 professionals) to connect online with the ultimate goal of forging personal, professional, and economic opportunities.
