Company Overview

Proximus is the leading integrated telecommunications operator in Belgium, headquartered in Brussels. The company provides a comprehensive range of fixed-line and mobile telephony services, broadband internet, and digital television to both retail consumers and business customers. In addition to its core telecommunications offerings, Proximus delivers information and communications technology (ICT) solutions, including cloud services, cybersecurity, and digital transformation support for mid-sized enterprises and large corporations.

Through its branded networks—Proximus for premium services and Scarlet as a value proposition—the company maintains an extensive national infrastructure encompassing fiber-optic and copper-based networks, as well as one of Belgium’s primary 4G and 5G mobile platforms. Proximus also extends its footprint beyond national borders via subsidiaries such as BICS, which provides wholesale carrier and roaming services to international operators, and Telindus, delivering system integration and managed IT services across Europe. The group is active in emerging areas such as Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and digital convergence solutions.

Tracing its origins to the Belgian postal and telegraph authority, the company underwent privatization in the early 2000s and was rebranded as Proximus Group in 2014. Over the years, it has invested heavily in network modernization and digital platforms to meet evolving customer demands and support Belgium’s digital economy. Under the leadership of CEO Guillaume Boutin, who assumed the role in early 2020, Proximus continues to pursue strategic partnerships and sustainability initiatives as part of its long-term growth and innovation agenda.
