Materna opens a site in Brussels

More capacity to deliver in European digital projects

The Materna Group has established its own subsidiary, Materna Belgium B.V., in the Belgian capital. With this move, Materna is responding to the EU’s growing operational responsibility in running complex digital systems.

Brussels is becoming a hub for digital implementation

Digital regulation and policy guidelines are increasingly shaped in Brussels. At the same time, European institutions and authorities themselves are responsible for implementing these requirements within complex IT systems. They act as both clients and operators of IT infrastructures that are critical to security and administration, with high requirements for stability, security and traceability.

Support for critical digital infrastructures

Materna Belgium B.V. operates in Brussels and will support European institutions, member states and partners from the public and private sectors in the practical implementation of digital projects. The focus lies on robust IT and data architectures as well as the secure operation of digital systems in sensitive and regulated environments.

“Europe does not only set digital guardrails. European institutions and authorities must reliably translate these requirements reliably into practice themselves,” says Michael Hagedorn, CEO of the Materna Group. “Particularly in areas where security, stability and trust are critical, partners with proven implementation experience are essential. As a European company, it is therefore only logical for us to have a presence precisely here.”

Close proximity to European decision makers

Toon Kockx assumes the role of Client Partner EU and Head of the Brussels office, taking on responsibility for sales. He serves as a liaison between political decision makers and the operational side of the business.

“Many European authorities are under significant pressure to implement changes,” says Kockx. “New programmes and requirements are colliding with existing systems and limited resources. Our focus is on providing these stakeholders with practical support so that digital solutions can be implemented securely, reliably and efficiently in day-to-day operations.”
