Superlinear

BDO Belgium and BDO France invest in Superlinear to accelerate AI transformation 

BDO Belgium and BDO France have jointly invested in Superlinear, a fast-growing European AI scale-up that develops enterprise-wide, explainable AI systems for large and complex organisations. The investment marks a strategic step in strengthening BDO’s capabilities in digital and AI-driven transformation. 

Superlinear’s platform is designed to support complex, end-to-end decision-making across ports, airports, manufacturing, logistics and other large value chains. By creating a single intelligent layer across the enterprise, it helps organisations unlock measurable operational and financial impact while making better use of their existing data, systems, and infrastructure. 

For BDO, this collaboration fits directly within our future-facing AI strategy. It enables us to support clients at every stage of their AI journey, from preparing data and processes, to identifying high-value use cases, to scaling proven AI solutions across the organisation. The partnership brings together Superlinear’s technological excellence with BDO’s advisory strength, sector expertise, and European footprint. 

Together, BDO and Superlinear share a clear ambition: to build a European platform for AI-driven transformation that turns complexity into clarity, and potential into performance.

AMS

BDO and Antwerp Management School join forces to strengthen the scale-up ecosystem 

BDO Belgium and Antwerp Management School (AMS) launched a three-year collaboration in October 2025, fully focused on entrepreneurship, innovation and scaling. Through this partnership, both organisations aim to combine their expertise to strengthen Belgium's scale-up landscape and better support entrepreneurs during their growth journey. 

The collaboration is built on four pillars: 

  • Joint research into growth challenges, financing and start-up and scale-up ecosystems.  
  • Thought leadership through whitepapers, podcasts and content that provide entrepreneurs with insights and practical tools.  
  • Ecosystem development with events and programmes that bring together founders, experts and students.  
  • Practical tools such as a scaling navigator and teaching cases for entrepreneurs.  

For BDO, this partnership marks an important step in further developing our role as a trusted advisor to growing companies. By combining academic insights with our hands-on experience, we can support entrepreneurs even more effectively in their financial, strategic and digital challenges. 

The partnership also creates new opportunities for our own people. Young BDO talents can participate in AMS research and programmes, accelerating their professional development and increasing their visibility within the innovation ecosystem.

With Let's Grow Together as our guiding principle, BDO and AMS are building valuable insights, strong connections and initiatives that will grow Belgium's scale-up ecosystem in the years ahead.
