December 2017 – Christmas dinner
This year, at the Château du Lac in Genval, BELGATECH staff gathered for a succulent dinner with a quiz and colorful challenges. The opportunity to celebrate the end of the year and to remember the successes achieved as well as the objectives for 2018.
Moreover participants had the opportunity to experience new devices: head-mounted displays projecting a film in an augmented reality view.
This emerging technology overlays our perceptions of the real world with information from computers.
The projected film consequently created a very realistic living underwater environment!
November 2017 – Junior Petanque World Championship
We are very proud to announce that Philippe, Senior Consultant BELGATECH, led as National Coach the Belgian Junior Petanque team to a bronze medal during the Junior Petanque World Championship which took place from the 4th to the 8th of November 2017!
All players coming from over 20 countries worldwide have been welcomed in the city of Kaihua, Zhejiang Province (China), which is situated in the east side of China on the border of East China Sea.
During the Championship Philippe’s team successively won against the Netherlands, Algeria and Morocco before being only beaten by the future World Champions of Madagascar in semi-final (see direct elimination sheet above). This result is the best ever achieved by a Belgian Junior Petanque team for more than a decade.
BELGATECH warmly greets this outstanding performance!

September 2017 – Sailing on the North Sea!
In order to celebrate the end of summer, our internal staff members participated in a team-building event on the North Sea!
We enjoyed together a navigation course before embarking on a 50-feet-sailboat from Nieuwpoort for a cruise in the 20-nautical-mile-zone off the coast.
In spite of changing weather and some intimidating waves, our skipper succeeded in leading us safe back to Nieuwpoort! As a former competitor of the Whitbread “Round the World Race” (now “Volvo Ocean Race”) we had no doubt about his skills!
The luckiest of us also were able to see some seals from the boat and also a dolphin.
Technique + Adventure + Great Atmosphere made the perfect mix for a refreshing offsite day…
Now everyone is ready for a full commitment so that the 2017/2018 season can be successful!
Your BELGATECH Team.
June 2017 – Tennis & Petanque at Club Justine Henin
On June 29th, our staff dusted off its tennis rackets and petanque gear for a friendly competition. At the Club Justine Henin (former World #1 player!) we hit and threw tennis and petanque balls in the most enjoyable atmosphere.
And of course, since no sports activity could be complete without a concluding meal, we tastefully devoured all barbecue meat before heading home.
See you on our next event!
June 2017 – Special visitor
When workspace and nature meet. BELGATECH’s office building Woluwe Gate is located at the edge of Woluwe park & Soignes Forest, the green epicenter of Brussels.
Our location sometimes leads to out-of-the-ordinary situations: this morning, for example, our employees Franck, Yoann and David found a lost visitor in the lobby and kindly led it back to its natural habitat across the street.
