INDUCT was officially founded

In April 2009, INDUCT was officially founded by Tom Coen, Jan Anthonis and Wouter Saeys. Tom was initially the only one active in the company, starting up an office in Zaventem.

INDUCT stands for innovation. The name is a combination of the first two letters of innovation with `duct` meaning `to lead`. Our aim is to lead innovation to build bridges between for example universities and companies.

Initially, we focus on the agricultural industry, thanks to decades of combined experience of the founders in this sector.
