Agoria, a privately owned Belgian organization founded in 1946, functions as an industry federation representing over 1,500 technology companies. Employing approximately 350 people from its headquarters in Belgium, Agoria's membership includes a diverse range of businesses, from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to multinational corporations. The federation's activities focus on supporting the technology sector through initiatives related to innovation, international trade, and workforce development.
Agoria reported that Brussels faced challenges retaining ICT companies in 2025, with approximately 1400 companies based in the city at that time. The political situation prompted some companies to reconsider their presence. Separately, Agoria's CEO, Bart Steukers, warned of potential "economic disaster" due to U.S. tariffs on the European Union, stating that without a renegotiated trade agreement by August 1, Belgium's technology sector could face severe consequences. This warning was issued in multiple reports. In a different matter, Vanderscheuren, a metal processor, announced its commitment to digitization and robotization, aiming for a "future-proof factory" with Agoria and Sirris's assistance.
