Cheops, Kontich – With a 14th Trends Gazellen nomination, Cheops once again confirms its position among Belgium’s fastest-growing companies. The recognition reflects an organisation that continues to evolve in an increasingly competitive IT market, while staying true to a well‑thought‑out and sustainable growth strategy. This growth creates room for continued investment in innovation, employees, and customers.
What are Trends Gazellen and why are they relevant?
With the Trends Gazellen, business magazine Trends annually awards companies that stand out for their growth performance. The selection is based on objective and financial criteria, including the evolution of revenue, added value, and employment over a five‑year period.
This methodology makes a Trends Gazelles nomination an independent, data‑driven recognition. Growing according to these criteria means that an organization is economically healthy while simultaneously creating opportunities for people.
Consistent growth in a complex IT landscape
It is no coincidence that Cheops has been selected once again. The company is growing faster than the market, and it is doing so within an IT landscape that is becoming increasingly complex. This growth is supported by a scalable IT-as-a-Service model, with a clear focus on Cloud, Modern Workplace and Cybersecurity.
Cheops continues to strengthen its position through targeted acquisitions as well. In 2025, for example, Systemat and more recently Hello were added to the group. These strategic steps fit within a deliberate growth strategy in which scale goes hand in hand with quality, regional expansion and smooth integration.
Growth that unlocks human potential
Sustained growth creates opportunities. At Cheops, this translates into attracting new talent, encouraging internal mobility and further developing multidisciplinary teams. Here, growth is not just about expansion — it is equally about development.
In 2025, this approach also earned external recognition. Cheops was named a "Baanbrekende Werkgever", underscoring the company’s commitment to combining strong business growth with a culture of engagement, well‑being and sustainable careers.
Growth that enables us to support our customers even better
Cheops’ growth is equally relevant for its customers. Today, organizations expect more than ever from their IT partner. They look for proximity, continuity and a strategic ally who thinks along with them and grows alongside their ambitions.
To fulfil that role, Cheops continues to invest in scale and reinforcement. The expansion of its regional footprint through Systemat, the successful integration of previous acquisitions and the announcement of a new home base in Ghent all illustrate this approach. Together, these steps symbolize further growth, stronger collaboration and greater proximity to customers — without compromising on quality.
Ambitions for 2026
For Cheops, the 14th Trends Gazelles nomination is not a final milestone, but a reaffirmation. It confirms that the chosen trajectory is the right one — and that Cheops is strengthening its position as a leading Managed Service Provider, ready for the next phase of growth. With a solid foundation and clear ambitions, Cheops continues to build a future‑focused role for both its customers and its employees.
