Data and analytics consultancy in Charleroi

Charleroi sits in Wallonia, with an economy built on aviation and airports, industrial machinery and engineering, and pharmaceuticals and biotech. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Charleroi analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Charleroi hosts a significant biotechnology cluster alongside its airport, so GxP-regulated manufacturing data sits next to aviation operational analytics. Walloon regional reporting obligations apply here in addition to federal ones, which multiplies the datasets a single organisation has to produce.

Charleroi draws on the Mons, Brussels and Liège catchments, with a biotech-specific skill base locally.

Economic anchors

  • a major low-cost airline airport
  • a biotechnology and pharmaceutical cluster at Gosselies
  • engineering and metals manufacturing

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the Brussels South Charleroi Airport area
  • the Aéropole science park at Gosselies
  • the Sambre valley

How buying works here

Six to fourteen weeks commercially.

Multilingual and split between local and group decision-making, with a federal structure that multiplies the authorities involved. Brussels adds a layer of organisations procuring under EU institutional rules.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Local sponsor, head of data, IT manager or finance director
  2. Group IT and procurement, often outside Belgium
  3. DPO, for the processing position and the DPA
  4. Ondernemingsraad / conseil d'entreprise, for employee-related reporting
  5. Legal, applying either Belgian law or the group agreement

Have ready

  • KBO / BCE enterprise number and registration extract
  • Attestations for social security (ONSS / RSZ) and tax, routinely requested in public procurement
  • Insurance certificates including professional indemnity
  • Data processing agreement under EU GDPR Article 28
  • Security questionnaire, often the group's standard

Contract language: Dutch in Flanders, French in Wallonia and Brussels, English with international groups. Assume at least two.

Next step

Analytics work in Charleroi

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what aviation and airports and industrial machinery and engineering data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written proposal. Flemish and Walloon entities will each want it in their own working language.
