Barco Boost: developing the changemakers of tomorrow
2 min read
At Barco, we believe that leadership is not just a title – it’s a mindset. That’s why we created Barco Boost, a development program designed to empower our high-potential employees with the skills, confidence, and cross-functional knowledge they need to grow into the leaders of the future.
Last week, we proudly celebrated the graduation of our latest group of Boost participants – each of them having completed an intensive journey focused on personal leadership and general business acumen.
A program built for growth
In partnership with Vlerick Business School and StreetwiZe, Barco Boost offers a deep dive into key business domains: leadership, strategy, sales & marketing, finance, operations, and innovation.
“It’s all about growing our people in line with the Barco Leadership Compass, our values, and our long-term strategy,” says Lien Meuleman, Chief HR Officer at Barco.
Why Barco Boost?
Barco Boost is more than a learning opportunity – it’s a strategic investment in our people and our future. Participants gain a broader understanding of the business beyond their own roles, while Barco benefits from fresh perspectives, stronger collaboration, and a growing network of future-ready leaders. This year’s edition introduced a brand-new Innovation Challenge, where participants were invited to pitch ideas that could help Barco scale to the next level.

What our participants say
“The Barco Boost program opened my eyes to the organization. It pushed me out of my comfort zone – and that’s where the real learning happened.”
“Being nominated to join was exciting. Visiting HQ and expanding my network made me feel more connected to Barco. I now feel part of something much bigger.”
“I now understand pricing strategies and supply chain basics, and I can apply that in my role. The time investment was absolutely worth it.”
Looking ahead
To all our Barco Boost graduates: take pride in what you’ve achieved. Keep building on the relationships you’ve formed, stay curious, and continue growing. This is just the beginning.
At Barco, we’re committed to nurturing the next generation of leaders, because when our people grow, so does our impact.
