Description

At the centre of the technological industry
The story of Agoria began in 1946, with the establishment of Fabrimetal, the Federation of Enterprises in the Metal Industry is established. This organisation was in turn based on the principles of the Federation of Manufacturers, established in 1906. At its peak, Fabrimetal represented 1200 enterprises in the metalworking industry, electrical construction and plastics processing industries.

The name change from Fabrimetal to Agoria was announced on 9 November 2000. The previous name referred mainly to the metal manufacturing industry but in practice, the vision of the organisation had evolved and Agoria was supporting companies from other sectors, such as ICT.

Agoria has more than 2000 technology companies from the manufacturing industry and the digital and telecom sectors among its members, 70% of which are SMEs. This makes Agoria the largest federation within the Federation of Belgian Enterprises. Agoria has around 200 employees, based at offices in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Liège and Charleroi.

Agoria also has its own technology centre, Sirris, which supports companies in introducing new technologies into their products, processes and business.

Belgian technology companies boast the highest added value (€39 billion in 2019) and the highest economic growth in real terms (11.5% since 2015) of any sector in the country. In 2019, the industry turnover was €132 billion, with investment exceeding €4 billion.
