At the origin of ExpoPolis is its two founders :
Pascale Van Kerckhove and Thibault Van der Auwermeulen
Both have been fortunate to have always seen things the same way. Surrounded by their loyal (childhood) friends, close to nature and inspired by their honest values, they have been able to develop their innate creative and enduring spirit.
Pascale and Thibault are real visionaries. In 2000, their first business plan detailed everything going on in the world today! Convinced about the direction of their project, they “held their own” against all the odds for many years.
Putting users at the heart of innovation to fully meet their needs
The course of the virtual world has been quite classical in the way it has evolved: Pascale and Thibault started in 2009 with real time 3D.
After several client experiences, they quickly began to understand the overriding need to be able to meet very specific needs:
A complementarity that gives one the permanent strength to question what already exists in order to aim for a better solution!
The varied professional backgrounds of the two founding members gives them experience in very distinct fields:
A versatile and expert entrepreneur:

Collective intelligence - serving a memorable virtual user experience
Thanks to their many different strengths, the two founders have created a solution that meets the specific needs of organisers, exhibitors, and visitors. Pascale and Thibault have always interacted with their customers and are attentive to their needs. They have developed a strong relationship with each of them and always with a constructive goal in mind.
Every exhibitor and visitor comment is taken into account and helps improve their solution development. This is why ExpoPolis is able to provide a well-tested platform that meets the specific needs of its users. While, at the same time, remaining very intuitive, classy, and aesthetically pleasing!
A corporate culture where everyone has an important role to play
In recent months, the ExpoPolis team has grown considerably; we pride ourselves on our mutually supportive family spirit which is an integral part of our everyday life. At ExpoPolis, everyone has their own role to play and their own individual strengths. No one hesitates to share their experiences internally. On the contrary, everyone is committed to serving our customers as efficiently as possible, and our customers realise this. With us, it's "technical and service oriented" or "service and technical oriented": two essential points!
Continuous development is key at ExpoPolis. The founders’ ideas are continually flowing, and all are projected into a medium/long term future plan. We’re not going to use fancy words like "marketing" or talk about "business ethics". Rather we prefer to talk about our ideas, our reflective processes, our common sense, our hard work, our ability to listen and how our continuous exchanges and humanity, instinct, and perseverance shape us and the way we work.
