Abstract
The tenth edition of the Rising Star Monitor, an annual study by Deloitte Belgium in collaboration with the Vlerick Centre for Excellence in Scale-ups, once again charts how Belgian scale-ups are performing on crucial growth capabilities such as governance, finance, sales, talent, digitalisation and AI. This year, a clear paradox emerges: scale-ups have strong products, but suffer from structural organisational weakness that hinders their scalability. Although 37% of young companies aim for rapid growth, they score on average 17 points lower than SMEs on organisational maturity. In particular, governance, talent management, financial planning and the scalability of sales and operations are lagging behind, leaving a lot of potential untapped.
