ETABLISSEMENTSA LIEVENS LANCKMAN

Their core work

Lievens Lanckman is a Belgian SME that contributes to EU-funded coordination and support actions focused on digital health policy, ICT standardization, and e-health ecosystem development. Their work spans setting standards for ICT-enabled active and healthy ageing (PROGRESSIVE), assessing open service platform uptake (PlatformUptake.eu), and supporting e-health coordination in Africa (BETTEReHEALTH). They appear to operate as a consultancy or policy support partner rather than a technology developer, consistently joining large consortia in advisory or implementation support roles.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their early involvement (2016-2019) centered on ICT standardization for ageing populations within Europe. From 2020 onward, their focus shifted toward broader digital health platform governance and then expanded geographically to include e-health policy coordination in Africa. This progression suggests a move from technical standards work toward policy-oriented and internationally-scoped digital health initiatives.

They are moving from European ICT standards into international e-health policy, suggesting growing interest in global digital health governance and developing-region partnerships.

How they like to work

Lievens Lanckman exclusively participates as a partner, never leading projects, which points to a support or consultancy role within larger consortia. Despite having only 3 projects, they have worked with 31 unique partners across 16 countries, indicating they operate in broad, multi-stakeholder consortia typical of Coordination and Support Actions. This makes them an accessible, low-friction partner comfortable in diverse international teams.

With 31 consortium partners across 16 countries from just 3 projects, they have a surprisingly wide European and international network. Their participation in Africa-focused e-health work extends their reach beyond Europe.

What sets them apart

Their niche lies at the intersection of digital health policy and international coordination — a space where many technology-focused SMEs lack experience. Their consistent involvement in CSA-type projects (policy, standards, coordination) rather than research or innovation actions sets them apart as a policy and governance specialist. For consortium builders seeking a Belgian SME partner with cross-cultural coordination experience in digital health, they offer a specific and complementary skill set.
