Expansion into Belgium: adesso strengthens its presence in the BeNeLux region

adesso continues to push ahead with its international growth strategy, and opened a subsidiary in Belgium on 1 June 2025. The new presence in the heart of Brussels serves, among other things, as a strategic bridgehead to the European Union. adesso is therefore sending out a clear signal: the proximity to the European institutions is to be used in a targeted manner to strengthen collaboration with public-sector clients at EU level. In this way, the IT service provider is emphasising its commitment to playing an active role in shaping the digital transformation in Europe.

Roel de Cuyper will assume the management of adesso’s Belgian subsidiary and will also guide the company’s BeNeLux operations. The experienced IT manager previously worked as Sales Director at the Belgian IT consultancy LACO and brings extensive market knowledge and a strong local network to his new role. In the initial growth phase, the sales focus of the Belgian office will be on projects in various areas, including the financial services and public sectors – both industries in which the adesso Group has many years of experience. The branches in Belgium and the Netherlands will work closely together in future to drive joint growth in the region. They will continue to operate independently in order to preserve their local character and to do justice to adesso's ‘global local player’ approach in both markets.

Locally anchored, internationally networked

The Belgian subsidiary will not only operate as a sales location, but will also provide onshore delivery services. To this end, local consulting and development capacities will be successively established along the growth path and integrated into the existing supra-regional capacities from the DACH region and the Netherlands. The BeNeLux locations also have full access to the adesso Group’s nearshore and offshore network to support regional customers. They therefore benefit from a high degree of local proximity combined with international scalability.

“The new site in Brussels is another milestone on our way to actively shaping the digital future of Europe,” explains Mark Lohweber, CEO of adesso SE. “We are bringing a breath of fresh air to the Belgian IT market – with a unique blend of innovation, agility and care. Our customers benefit from fast, structured processes, a deep understanding of the industry and access to scalable delivery capacities. With our global local player approach, we also create the basis for sustainable local digital partnerships – in Belgium, the entire BeNeLux region and beyond.”
