Description: 
Based in Louvain-la-Neuve, close to Brussels in Belgium, the SME provides IT services in the field of custom software development (specialized web platforms, technical mobile applications, etc.) and advanced analysis ("data science" and artificial intelligence). The company was founded in 2012, by three PhD's in physics, with a first solution, still currently used, that allows students to carry out a range of physics experiments on their computer screen, rather than in the laboratory. Today, the company develops and implements tailor-made application software, according to the expressed needs, in Belgium and abroad. The company uses the most innovative Open Source technologies coupled with agile methodologies which allow them to deliver high-quality service in a short amount of time. They have widened their expertise to multiple areas (health, sciences, education, HR management, transport, finance, industry, etc.).

For example, they were invited to CERN as a speaker alongside Google and Amazon. The main feature of all projects concerns the intellectual property. Indeed, the company does not own the intellectual property of the products/solutions they develop. Concretely, the company offers two main services: 1.
