The Management Board of Ingenium NV has appointed Steven Wallays as the new CEO effective from October 1, 2026. With his arrival, Ingenium NV aims to shape the next phase of its development, with continued attention to sustainable growth, substantive expertise, and long-term client relationships.

Anyone who discovers halfway through a project that the electrical connection needs to be upgraded faces costly redesigns and months of delays. This scenario can largely be avoided with early checks.

Flemish hospitals are looking for sustainable and affordable heating solutions to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and lower their CO2 emissions. The VLAIO Greening Scan helps them do this.

A lot of data, little clarity: how to turn fragmented building information into a clear roadmap to climate neutrality.

Grid congestion threatens your energy needs: in virtually all of Flanders, large-scale consumers no longer receive the full power they need when grid congestion occurs. Don’t wait until you’re stuck—find out now how to make your electrification plans future-proof.

Anyone who advises on energy efficiency and fossil-fuel-free systems must also demonstrate that transparency themselves. Ingenium does so voluntarily through the VSME—a European reporting framework for SMEs.

You can imagine. A new construction or major renovation often means thorough insulation of the envelope, large windows that let in lots of light, etc... All important things but have you also thought about limiting overheating of your building?

Do you want to invest in green heat, waste heat or sustainable heat networks? If so, the Flemish government's Green Heat Call offers the opportunity to obtain substantial investment support.

Modern regulations not only require buildings to have a management system, but also to actively monitor energy usage, detect anomalies, and utilize data to improve performance.

The need for an electrical infrastructure for data centers in Belgium due to stricter regulations, sustainability goals, and investment requirements.

The energy transition is no longer a distant prospect. Architecten already Architecten within a rapidly changing energy system. District heating networks—collective systems that distribute sustainable heat—are becoming increasingly important in this context. But what does that mean in practical terms at the drawing board?

Budget overruns, delays, regulations, sustainability—many clients struggle with the same questions during their construction projects. Projects that are clearly supervised from the outset run much more smoothly.

For many organizations, sustainability is no longer a standalone project, but a strategic exercise linked to energy prices, CO₂ reduction, grid constraints, and future investments. VLAIO positions the greening scan precisely in that context: as a subsidized feasibility study.

Electrification is stalling on the grid: organizations only discover during implementation that grid reinforcement takes years. A strategic shift is needed—electrical infrastructure must be part of the planning, not an afterthought.

Flexibility should support care and comfort processes, not disrupt them. This requires a pragmatic approach that prioritizes small, achievable steps. Hospitals that are already making smart choices today are gradually building an energy ecosystem that grows with their needs.

Flexibility must support the operational processes of organizations without disrupting them. This requires a pragmatic approach that prioritizes small, achievable steps and avoids large investments. Companies that are already making smart choices today are gradually building an energy ecosystem that grows with their needs. A fictional case study illustrates what that process might look like in practice. The technical approach and results described have been effectively applied in practice.

Belgium is in the midst of a new data center wave. International players and local operators are investing heavily in new capacity, but this growth comes with clear preconditions: rising energy demand, stricter European regulations, increasing pressure around sustainability, and limited electrical grid capacity.

Many Flemish companies currently view the EBO as an administrative burden. Mandatory reporting, lots of paperwork, little inspiration. But what if we linked energy management to strategy, innovation, and competitiveness?

The energy transition is radically changing the playing field for industrial companies. Whereas energy was a relatively stable cost for many years, we are now seeing sharp price fluctuations, increasing pressure on the electricity grid, and uncertainty surrounding security of supply.

Those who solve only short-term problems today risk costly surprises tomorrow. An electricity master plan helps property managers and building owners look ahead, avoid risks and plan sustainable investments in a staggered and well-considered way. The result is greater operational reliability, lower costs and an energy system that is ready for the future.

The energy transition is in full swing, but it is anything but linear. Hospitals are faced with increasing electricity consumption, fluctuating energy prices, and instability in the energy market, where negative prices can arise when excess power from solar panels is injected into an overloaded grid.

The energy transition is in full swing, but it is anything but linear. Local governments are seeing their electricity consumption rise due to increasingly electrified mobility, heat pumps in public buildings, charging stations, data centers ...

The energy transition is in full swing and Flanders is tightening regulations step by step to meet the 2050 climate goals. As an entrepreneur, you will have to deal with various legal obligations in the coming years. Below is a brief overview of what is in the pipeline, when these measures will take effect and how you can prepare.
