Municipalities

Take part as a municipality

In order to support the important role of new technology in our modern societies, Ardent Group has launched an award for municipalities in the Liège region to implement digital projects. Municipal institutions undoubtedly occupy an essential place in our future. With multiples skills and local roots, they truly impact each of us. At the same time, digital technology has completely transformed our society and can contribute to improving and modernizing the functioning of our municipalities.

So, what could be more natural for Ardent Group, a major player in technology in Wallonia and beyond, than to support this digitalization? Thanks to this award, a municipality will receive an exceptional grant of €25,000 to make a digital project a reality.
