Testimonials “It was a pleasure to meet the members of the Energy Technology Club and listen to them and their industry experiences / feedback. The event was an excellent opportunity to talk about Bechtel and how sellers can differentiate themselves in a difficult and changing market. Ultimately I found the event to be very informative, it allowed me to make good contacts and better understand the capability in the Belgian market.” by Andrew Cuniah, Manager of Procurement for London OG&C, Bechtel - 2017 “We have been a partner for several years now and I can only state that the Energy Technology Club is a major asset to Belgian companies wanting to promote their knowhow, not only abroad but also to other Belgian companies.  Since we joined, the organized trips, events, information sessions and networking opportunities have been of real value to us.  Also the team behind the club is great to interact with and responds actively to the challenges we present them in order to continue differentiating the Belgian partners from companies based in other countries.  Being an innovative and R&D service driven company active on an international scale, such platform is a must to be part of.“ by Marc Vanderschueren – Sr. Business Development Manager – OCAS - 2017
