About us

DIGITALIS is financially supported by the European Commission to support the digital transformation of the manufacturing and related sectors in Belgium. A group of experts from business, industry, technology, science, training and advisory provide direct support to companies seeking for it. 

A few things we’re great at

We start from a wide series of use cases, experiments and transformations that have happened, technology integrations and selected technologies we know and applied, business leaders we’ve guided and business cases we have been able to show.

Expert Testimonials

Here’s what our experts have to say : 

“Digitizing takes time, not for the technical integration, but for the company to fully embrace its potential. It is better to start now and develop over time, than to wait any longer for more skills, newer technologies, end-to-end solutions or infinite resources that will never arrive.”

Ulrich Seldeslachts

“It is amazing to discover the potential our Flemish manufacturing companies have to offer, once we start diving into the potential impact of use of DIGITALIS-services. Companies discover the business potential of their data, get a better impact on their production and workflow thanks to sensors and dashboards and discover product improvements. “
