Innovation rarely fails for lack of ideas. More often, it stalls because execution is unpredictable and full of challenges.
Forcit doesn’t claim to solve all of this magically, but it does help address the recurring bottlenecks. By joining the Flanders Technology & Innovation (FTI) Community, Forcit introduces a more effective way for organizations to tackle complex innovation challenges: by activating the right mix of artificial and human experts precisely when needed.
From complex challenges to expert collaboration
Forcit is a Belgian company specialized in helping organizations solve innovation and R&D challenges faster and more effectively.
Its expert management technology enables teams to accelerate progress over 10 times faster. By:
· Using AI to structure and understand the challenge or need
· Identifying relevant experts from inside or outside the organization
· Bringing together complementary expertise around shared problems
· Reducing the manual coordination work that slows projects down
“Initially, we built this technology for our own cooperative network of over 200 independent experts,” says Henri Jacobs, co-founder of Forcit. “But we quickly realized that expert networks, clusters, and organizations everywhere were facing the same bottlenecks in managing and mobilizing expertise.”
The result: organizations can now set up and operate their own expert network within days instead of months – ready to collaborate on challenges, with immediate impact.
A shared philosophy with Elli: connecting people to purpose
Within the FTI Community, Forcit joins initiatives like Elli, which empower organizations to turn individual signals into collective awareness and sustainable action.
While Elli focuses on understanding and improving workplace well-being, and Forcit on accelerating innovation, both share the same foundation: helping people and organizations thrive through collaboration and shared intelligence.
“Elli strengthens how organizations care for their people; Forcit strengthens how they mobilize their expertise,” says Frank Hamerlinck, CEO of FTI. “Together, they form two sides of the same coin: unlocking human potential at scale.”
Stronger together
With Forcit on board, the FTI Community gains another key partner dedicated to connecting knowledge, people, and purpose. “We see the same mindset in Elli and FTI,” Henri concludes. “Innovation, well-being, and sustainability all depend on connecting the right people around shared challenges. That’s how real progress happens.”
Welcome to the FTI Community, Forcit. Where expertise meets purpose and innovation becomes a collective journey.
