For episode 31 of the Bao Podcast, we invited Thomas Vandenbergh. He has a PhD in Engineering and is General Manager of Besix Technology and CEO of BESIX STAY. These 2 companies are part of the BESIX Group. BESIX is a renowned global player in the construction and real estate sector, based in Brussels. It has already realized impressive projects such as the Burj Khalifa, the European Parliament and many others.
The construction industry is struggling with productivity. I think we can solve this by forming ecosystems of companies that repeatedly do business with each other. Because now people are trying to reinvent the wheel on every project by selecting new partners, renegotiating terms and conditions, etc. We waste too much time creating a partnership in a project-oriented way.
