\n\nPRESS RELEASE <\/b>\n\nOne in two employees becomes a shareholder of I-care, which raises over 10 million euros <\/b>\n\nMons \u2013 The Belgian company I-care, a global leader<\/b> in machine health, has just closed a fundraising of more than 10 million euros. 180<\/b> new employees have invested in their company, joining the 75 employees who were already shareholders of I-care, some of them since 2008. This is a strong signal, which demonstrates the high confidence of the teams and shareholders in I-care’s growth.<\/b>\n\n\u201cOur initial objective was to raise around 3 million euros,” <\/span><\/i>explains Fabrice Brion, CEO of I-care.<\/span> \u201cAnd we ended up raising three times that amount! I already knew that our teams were motivated by our development, but I did not expect such a success. A company of this size with one out of two employees as a shareholder \u2013 I measure how exceptional this is. Above all, I would like to thank our teams for their trust!”<\/span><\/i>\n\nThe shareholding employees have invested 35,000 euros per person on average. Together with the founders, they now own 84% of the company.<\/span>\n\nThis fundraising round will allow I-care to continue its development to support the health of industrial machines around the world.<\/span> “We want to multiply our size by 5 in the next 5 years,” <\/span><\/i>explains Fabrice Brion.<\/span> But he immediately emphasizes that it is not a matter of growing just for the sake of it: <\/span>“Our market will at least quadruple in the next 5 years. Growing will allow us to remain faithful to our values – performa<\/span><\/i>nce, sustainability and respect for people – and to keep control of our destiny. This is more essential than ever considering the unstable context in which the economy is evolving!”<\/span><\/i>\n\nI-care won the \u201cBusiness of the Year\u201d Award in 2020 and is a global leader in industrial machine health. Their AI and data-driven solutions predict industrial failures months or even years before they occur. Thanks to I-care, machines around the world are safer, more productive and more sustainable. Founded in 2004 in Mons, I-care employs more than 500 people and has offices in 11 countries (Europe, USA and Asia) with customers in more than 55 countries.<\/span>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":60236,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"0","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-60987","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icareweb.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/60987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icareweb.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icareweb.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.icareweb.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.icareweb.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
