Previous annual reports
2022
The year 2022 is economically marked by an unseen inflation of 9.59 % and the energy cost has tripled. Yet VITO is again able to present a positive financial end result. VITO continues to grow in budget and staff. The relevance of VITO's research is reaffirmed by the high success rate in acquiring new research projects, the start of 4 new spin-offs and new license agreements with industry in Belgium and abroad based on built VITO knowledge.

2021
Despite the challenges of the corona crisis, VITO closed 2021 with a positive result. VITO continues to grow and the new climate and water related projects give the results an extra boost. The creation of Clean Vision Invest stimulates the valorisation and spin off policy and is starting to show its success.
The sale of the VITO spin off LCV (Laser Cladding Venture) is hereby a good example of the generation of extra resources for research and valorisation. Together with the support that VITO provides to Flanders, Europe and the industry, we are now well prepared for the challenges of the coming years.
