This thesis analyses the project developed by SUEZ Recycling & Recovery Belgium company to study the case of the joint venture Recyc-Mattress-Belgium [RMB] and more precisely to study the Again® project mattress which is inside the joint venture RMB. This joint venture has been created four years ago by SUEZ and Recyc-Mattress-Europe company with the purpose to dismantle the old mattresses from Belgium and to sell the dismantled materials. Due to some difficulties faced by RMB, the Again® mattress has been created to used the stocks of RMB. The Again® mattress is a circular mattress containing 75% of recycled materials. Unfortunately, the Again® project has also difficulties to grow and to be viable. Therefore, the objective was to analyze and optimize the business model Canvas to make the project profitable.

Ce travail retrace les différentes étapes, depuis la naissance de l’idée jusqu’à l’élaboration du projet, de la création d’une société de commande et de livraison alimentaire depuis les commerces de proximité dans les circuits courts. Il consiste à faire valider le projet par des études scientifiques d’une part et par les consommateurs via une enquête sur le terrain d’autre part. Ce travail a pour but d’analyser la faisabilité de la création de l’entreprise projetée et de définir les fondements nécessaires pour réaliser ultérieurement un business plan. 
Cette étude a été construite pour amener le lecteur à comprendre les différentes étapes du murissement de l’idée, au moyen de divers outils. L’état de l’art vient valider le projet d’un point de vue théorique tandis que l’analyse de marché va vérifier l’idée sur le terrain. Dans ce contexte, une enquête a été diffusée auprès des consommateurs et des interviews d’acteurs locaux ont été effectuées. L’étude du marché est complétée par une analyse PESTEL afin d’appréhender les opportunités et les menaces de l’entreprise au niveau global. Enfin, une étude de la concurrence selon les cinq forces de PORTER est réalisée pour aborder le marché local.
Les résultats obtenus dans les articles scientifiques et dans l’étude du marché sont ensuite retranscrits dans un Business Model Canvas (BMC) afin d’obtenir un modèle d’entreprise de façon imagée. Enfin, une feuille de route est rédigée pour lister les tâches qu’il convient d’effectuer et de déléguer en vue d’établir un business plan, lequel permettra de concrétiser l’idée et de lancer l’entreprise sur le marché. This document goes through the different steps of the project from the birth of its idea until its development, that aims at the elaboration of a food order and delivery company from local businesses from short supply chains. It consists in validating the project by scientific studies on the one hand, and by consumers via a field survey on the other hand. The goal of this work is to explore the feasibility of the creation of the company in order to define the necessary foundations for a future business plan.
This study aims at walking the reader through the different stages of the development of the idea by means of various tools. The literature review confirms the project from a theorical point of view while the market analysis verifies the idea in the field. A consumer survey has been distributed in this context and interviews with local actors have been conducted. Moreover, the market study is completed by a PESTEL analysis in order to understand the opportunities and threats the company is exposed to a global level. Finally, in order to approach the local market, a competition analysis according to the Five Forces model of PORTER is carried out.
The results obtained from the scientific articles and from the market study are then transcribed in the Business Model Canvas (BMC) in order to get a business model in a pictorial way. Finally, a roadmap is carried out to list tasks that need to be realized and to be delegated. Those make it possible to draw up a business plan which will enable to make the project concrete and to launch the business on the market.

The purpose of this thesis is to understand the particularities of the business model used by start-up in the insurance sector. During the various chapters, the reader will be able to discover a sector that is at the gateway to a transformation of its current functioning. Forced to adapt to new disruptive elements, insurers as we know them find it difficult to be as reactive as start-ups. These disruptive elements are supported by the development of technology and artificial intelligence.

Can we develop an effective insurance business model in Belgium? What can Machine Learning models bring? These are the questions we will ask when we observe different innovative players in the market. During this thesis, we will study what new technological models bring to the different levels of the insurance value chain.

This thesis also gives a complete description of a new phenomenon in the insurance sector: Peer-to-Peer insurance. Part of this study focuses on the classification of these new types of insurance and examines their benefits. This detailed overview is then accompanied by an analysis of the disruptive elements that lead to the emergence of new business models.

The central element of this transformation concerning technology, this thesis attaches great importance to it. First of all, the theoretical aspects of Machine Learning were studied and secondly, the practical application led to the development of an analysis of a Business Model Canvas.

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) seem to be growing fast, including in Wallonia. These local food systems bring social and environmental proximity back into fashion, while they had been heavily affected by intensive agriculture and the growth of mass retailing. However, most people are still using mass distribution. In this context, we might question what the future could bring for SFSCs and how they could attract more customers.
This report aims at answering these questions by studying a Namur-based food cooperative, Paysans-Artisans, which sells products from local farmers and artisans supporting sustainable agriculture. Throughout a complete business analysis based on its actual business model, its strengths, weaknesses and opportunities could be assessed. Amongst them we can highlight the global lack of SFSCs awareness, although it is a fast growing market. Paysans-Artisans’ distribution channels seem too restricted and prevent more customers from accessing it. Hence a unique and very limited customer segment is targeted. Two Business Model Canvas were then designed to answer these findings. The first one is focused on developing a B2B wholesaler service. The second one is aimed at building a “short food supply chains hub” in Namur, including a local grocery shop. These business models could help respond to customers’ needs while promoting SFSCs fundamental values and ideology.
