No sustainable growth without innovation

To us, at the Belgacom Group, business innovation is a state of mind. As a cornerstone of our corporate culture continual innovation is incorporated in our daily tasks. It is not confined to research and development, but drives each of our Group's departments. It is the obligation never to rest on one's laurels, to be open and frank, to continually reinvent oneself, and to experiment and be prepared to learn from one's mistakes.

In an increasingly complex world where predicting the future is notoriously difficult, our aim is to create and foster a highly-networked, open-source ecosystem based on an innovative approach. Together with our employees, business partners, suppliers and customers, we strive to create a new wave of interactive relationships to better and faster meet customer needs and create added value for our stakeholders.

Innovation is a core part of the Belgacom Group DNA. We demonstrated our capacity to innovate by launching hi-tech products and services, such as ADSL, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2008, mobile telephony and, more recently, Belgacom TV.

 

Two thirds of our current revenues are generated by products or services which did not exist 15 years ago.

 

Today, the richness and diversity of our IDTV product offering places us among the pioneers in this sector, and the scope of our unified connectivity platform for the professional market (Explore) is unique in Belgium.

 

We will continue to develop new products and services based on convergence of content and technology, thus offering greater simplicity and end-to-end solutions.
