Working exclusively with Belgian software providers strengthens the local tech economy and skills.
The venue has made a deliberate choice to work exclusively with Belgian software providers across its digital operations, from event management and ticketing tools to back-office and communication systems. Every supplier in the digital stack is a Belgium-based company, ranging from established players to younger tech ventures developing solutions in fields as diverse as AI-driven health applications and cleantech.
Sustainability added value: Sourcing software locally keeps value, expertise and tax revenue within the regional economy, supporting jobs and skills in a sector that is critical to a country’s long-term competitiveness. It also strengthens technological autonomy by reducing dependence on large international IT chains, shortens communication lines for support and development, and gives smaller Belgian innovators a credible reference that helps them grow on the wider market.
