We were honored to be recently interviewed by finance&invest.brussels, where our CFO Nicolas Braun shared insights into Macq’s evolution, key challenges, and international ambitions.
Founded in 1923, Macq has continuously evolved from developing radio technologies to becoming a key player in smart mobility. Over the decades, we built strong expertise in sensors and data systems, which today enables us to design intelligent traffic solutions that help public authorities improve road safety and better manage mobility flows.
Our ANPR-based technologies go beyond simple number plate recognition, allowing us to collect and analyze a wide range of data such as vehicle type, speed, and driving behavior. This information is integrated into advanced platforms that support informed decision-making, with a clear objective: preventing accidents and making roads safer for all users.
The interview also highlights a key turning point during the COVID-19 crisis. Faced with uncertainty, we chose to invest in research and development rather than scale down. This decision allowed us to accelerate our transformation, develop more scalable solutions, and strengthen our international presence through pilot projects in regions such as Poland and Africa.
In this journey, the support of finance&invest.brussels has been instrumental. Beyond financing, their understanding of the technological and operational realities of companies like ours has made them a valuable partner in supporting our growth and international expansion.
At Macq, we remain committed to building safer, smarter, and more sustainable mobility solutions, and to contributing to the future of traffic management both in Belgium and abroad.
