We help private individuals and professionals to manage their energy consumption,” explains Nexxtlab CEO Olivier Piraux. The Belval-based startup has just announced a new partnership with Flemish company EnergyKing, which specialises in the installation of solar panels, air conditioning, heat pumps, recharging stations, domestic batteries and ventilation systems.

“It’s a benchmark, particularly in Flanders, where we want to expand. EnergyKing carries out 30 installations a day and they chose us to provide them with our complete solution. It’s a long-term, win-win relationship, because they give us access to new markets, and thanks to our solution they can reach new customers.”
