When I reflect on 2025, one feeling stands out above all: enthusiasm. Enthusiasm from the people, partners, and organizations who helped shape a year defined by innovation, ambition, and tangible impact.
Making innovation visible
We continued to build on our mission to put innovation in the spotlight. Our presence at SuperNova once again injected fresh energy into the community. Entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers were given a true platform to be seen, to share ideas, and to spark new collaborations. Visibility matters, because progress accelerates when ideas are allowed to travel.
Tectonic: from idea to breakthrough
We were proud to help bring the very first edition of Tectonic to life - and what an edition it was. Fully sold out, both in visitors and sponsors, with strong and distinctive content that built on the impressive innovation ecosystem already present today. It proved that Belgium is more than ready for events that combine depth with vision, substance with ambition.
A growing FTI community
In 2025, we welcomed many new members into the FTI community. Organizations that didn’t come just to “network”, but to truly experience the power of collaboration. Because when you build together, you move faster and stronger.
From vision to reality in data sharing
This year, we brought our first data-sharing customers live. Together with Brussels Airport Company and Proximus, we worked on mobility and travel behavior, demonstrating how combining data leads to richer insights and better decision-making. This is where strategy becomes reality.
The launch of Elli
A major milestone was the launch of our flagship initiative, Elli, together with strong partners such as Golazo, Vitamins and Intelliprove. Welcoming our first customers - including Engie and Digitaal Vlaanderen - confirmed that data-driven well-being solutions are not just relevant, but urgently needed today.
Collaboration as a strategic choice
The common thread throughout everything we did? Collaboration. Whether through events, data-sharing projects or Elli, one thing is clear: in a geopolitically shifting world, collaboration within Belgium and across Europe is more relevant than ever. Not as a buzzword, but as a deliberate strategic choice.
2025 once again showed what’s possible when we join forces. We can innovate faster, create greater impact, and build sustainable progress. Onwards to even stronger collaboration in 2026.
