Belgium's tech ecosystem is showing strong signs of growth, maturation, and increasing global relevance. According to European Tech 2024: The Big Picture, Belgian tech companies raised over €4.2 billion in 2024. Major deals included funding to establish a new RD pilot line for advanced chip and systems-on-chip technologies (Imec), expand digital service offerings (team.blue), and accelerate AI-driven ERP development (Odoo). Despite this momentum, the ecosystem remains relatively small and early in its development compared to European and US peers. As outlined in the State of the Belgian Tech Report 2024, 77 per cent of funding is still concentrated in early-stage rounds. While growth is resilient, the scarcity of late-stage funding and exits is a barrier to faster scale-up
In the game Roblox 100 Players vs 1 Gorilla, players face off against a single gorilla, with one participant taking on the role of the gorilla while the rest of the server attempts to defeat it.
Beringea reflects on its follow-on investment in Gorilla, which scaled from a £5.2m Series A in 2022 to a £20m Series B led by Headline. Gorilla, a company transforming energy retailers' data management, has achieved significant growth by addressing industry pain points and fostering a values-driven culture. The investment supports Gorilla's global expansion, leveraging Beringea's transatlantic expertise to help the company navigate the energy sector's complexities.
