The leading companies of tomorrow are joining forces today on digital ecosystems. Elia & KBC are taking the lead in the world of energy & banking and even those two worlds are colliding. Join this top-notch, invitation-only, C-level event with Chris Peeters (CEO Elia group) and Johan Thijs (CEO KBC)

Two leading Belgian companies are joining forces on digital ecosystems; Elia & KBC are taking the lead in the world of energy & banking by entering a game-changing ecosystem. Join this, invitation-only, exciting journey together with Chris Peeters (CEO Elia group) and Johan Thijs (CEO KBC).

The Internet of Energy Eco System is the perfect illustration of the switch towards a sustainable world that needs more than just energy transition. A shift towards more service-driven and customer-centric ecosystems that needs deep knowledge of local markets and local consumer behaviour and smart solutions to fine-tune production & consumption of energy.

Eco System in Banking: Even in the banking world consumer behaviour is changing dramatically. Financial transactions are joining the unburdening of the customer by means of apps offering a wide range of services that are transcending the banking core business as never seen before. The big shift in making people's lives easier in the most diverse domains is today's reality.

Two leading Bel20 companies are entering, together with many more other companies, a new digital ecosystem. Under the leadership of two CEO’s who orchestrate and initiate a journey that goes way beyond their own worlds and who in some initiatives meet each other; it is very inspiring to see that these two captains of industry have the vision, ambition, decision & execution for future proof leadership.

Therefore, Vlerick is proud to challenge you on an invitation-only, event in Brussels for an interactive debate between an audience of 50 decision-makers and our panel. In this high- level debate all opportunities, challenges and pitfalls of Eco System play will be discussed.
