19 companies to present capabilities at GA-ASI's Blue Magic Belgium
Monday, 13 May 2019

Nineteen Belgium-based companies will present their ideas and cutting-edge capabilities to a panel of technical experts from GA-ASI with the goal of selection to support the development of MQ-9B SkyGuardian Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for Belgium.

This outreach event, called "Blue Magic Belgium," follows the Government of Belgium's approval for Belgian Defense to negotiate acquisition of GA-ASI's SkyGuardian to meet the nation's RPA requirements.

The 19 companies will be broken into two groups with one group presenting on May 15th in Liege and the second group on May 16th in Sint-Truiden. The goal of the events is to increase the number of Belgian technology companies that can provide research and development (R&D) and innovation to support GA-ASI.

"We look forward to the opportunity to meet face-to-face with some of Belgium's most innovative companies," said Linden Blue, CEO, GA-ASI. "We're committed to providing the best RPA to Belgian Defense and all NATO countries. To support that effort, we're identifying and establishing relationships with companies across Belgium that can assist us."

The companies participating in Blue Magic Belgium on May 15th and 16th will be Aerosimulators, Airobot, Altran, ALX Systems, Any Shape, Arcadia Industries, Capual, Coexpair, Feronyl, Hexagon, KuLeuven, Mockel, MSC Software, Simtech, Sirris, Spacebel, Unifly, (UN)MANNED and VeroTech.
