COVR’s history

Our story

1998

In 1998, four business partners laid the foundation for the IT company that evolved to the international company COVR. The company is an expert in supporting IT at medical and scientific congresses for professional organizations such as the European Cancer Congress or the World Diabetes Congress.

2008-2010

The expert in software for congresses starts a cooperation with Netropolix as an IT partner and is in 2010 awarded by UNIZO as best SME in the province of Antwerp.

2016

In 2016, COVR and Netropolix start a conversation. After a negotiation, the merge was made official with a marriage between the two power players. As of February 26, 2019, the group of 70 employees continues under the name of ‘Netropolix’.

2020 – 2021

Even covid-19 can’t stop COVR. When physical events could not take place, the company set up a full virtual conference environment as an excellent alternative for its clients. Today the virtual setup evolves into a hybrid environment.

2022

In 2022, IT companies Netropolix, Netflow, Cavere and COVR merged into one new leading ICT company. Together we relieve mainly Belgian SMEs and larger companies of all their ICT worries, and provide both ICT and ERP support for medical professional organizations and medical congresses worldwide.

Today

Today, our ICT-group is a growing, innovative company of some 175 enthusiastic employees. Following the merger, the company has offices in Geel, Kruibeke, Edegem and Wuustwezel.
