Export Vlaamse technologiebedrijven nog niet terug op niveau 2007
Agoriasector exporteerde in 2012 bijna 55 miljard euro
De Vlaamse technologiebedrijven hebben vorig jaar voor 55 miljard euro aan producten en diensten geëxporteerd. Dat is zowat dertig procent van de totale Vlaamse export, zo blijkt uit cijfers van Agoria.
Agoria: “2015 kan het jaar van de positieve omslag worden”
Technologiefederatie Agoria voorspelt voor 2015 een omzetdaling van 1,5 procent in de technologiesectoren. Toch zijn er ook redenen tot voorzichtig optimisme voor dit jaar.

ISO 31000 and ISO 26000 are new types of standards called "metastandards" that focus on social responsibility and stakeholder integration. ISO 31000 focuses on management processes and efficiency, while ISO 26000 focuses on content, principles, and stakeholder engagement. IQ Net SR 10 is a certification standard based on ISO 26000 that provides requirements for a social responsibility management system, including stakeholder identification and management. It implements a process approach and PDCA cycles to continuously improve social responsibility performance and stakeholder interactions.
De technologiebedrijven in ons land kennen in 2012 een productiedaling met 2,5 procent. Voor volgend jaar voorspelt technologiefederatie Agoria een beperkte heropleving. “De internationale groeivertraging weegt op de bestellingen en ook de rentabiliteit van onze bedrijven staat onder druk,” zegt Paul Soete, CEO van Agoria. Zo stijgt het loonaandeel in de kostenstructuur van de technologiebedrijven weer, onder meer door de hoge inflatie. En dat heeft gevolgen voor de werkgelegenheid. In 2012 gaan 6750 jobs verloren. In 2013 verwacht Agoria nog een bijkomend verlies van wellicht 3000 banen, want voor jobcreatie is er groei nodig. Gelukkig blijven de technologiebedrijven wel fors investeren in ons land, in totaal voor 1,8 miljard euro in 2012. Het is nu zaak om het competitiviteitsverlies onder controle te krijgen om meer nieuwe investeringsprojecten te kunnen lanceren.

This document summarizes a presentation on CSR (corporate social responsibility) at SWIFT. It discusses how SWIFT's CSR program began in 2008 with a focus on environmental initiatives, employee engagement, and acting as a CSR facilitator for the financial industry. It outlines SWIFT's current CSR strategy and how this will impact expectations for its maintenance service suppliers, requiring them to meet ethical and environmental standards. The presentation concludes that CSR must be fully endorsed, embedded in a company's strategy and DNA, and sees it as a source of innovation, competitive advantage, and continuous improvement.

The document outlines smart city projects and ambitions for the New South district in Antwerp, Belgium. It discusses 1) the ambition to create a circular city through metabolism research and sustainable development projects, 2) an overview of the New South district planning, and 3) specific smart projects including a city district heating system, local water recuperation, PV and battery storage, and the Circular South project which aims to create a circular district with citizen involvement and new platforms. It emphasizes using data and new technologies like blockchain to support resource management and a smart community.
The document discusses how the digital world has changed the traditional model of how companies attract and engage with customers. In the old world, companies focused mainly on attracting new customers through advertising, while customer experience and word-of-mouth sharing did not matter as much. However, with the rise of the internet and social media, word-of-mouth now has a greater impact and ability to shape perceptions, and companies must focus on the overall customer experience in order to trigger positive sharing. Budgets are now shifting from traditional advertising to social media strategies.
A smart building generates data from devices and sends it securely to the cloud, where predictive algorithms correlate it with other data to forecast results. These results are sent to mobile devices and back to the building management system to optimize settings and save energy and money. Schneider Electric's StruxureWare Building Expert platform provides a global architecture with modules for sustainability, energy management, asset management, and other functions on a unified data model. EcoStruxure bridges the gap between IT and operational technology to meet customer needs around cost reduction, risk mitigation, and improved asset value through the building lifecycle.
