Aujourd'hui 30 mars 2023, le contrat a été signé avec un nouveau partenaire de l'aviron Belge, Northwave. J'en ai parlé lors de réunions précédentes, mais rien n'avait encore été signé. Ce partenaire est actif dans le domaine de la cybersécurité et sera responsable des tenues vestimentaires des Sharks belges, de l'équipe de la Coupe de la Jeunesse et des entraîneurs.

The Vlaamse Roeiliga, Ligue Francophone d'Aviron and Koninklijke Belgische Roeibond are proud to announce that as of today they will be partnering with Northwave Cyber Security.

Northwave guards European organizations worldwide against cybercrime. Customers are adequately protected 24*7 by an intelligent and tuned cyber security operation. By outsourcing the most complex cybersecurity components to Northwave, it offers organizations a secure digital journey where organizations can remain efficiently at the helm themselves. Northwave is headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands.

'Belgium is in our eyes the most European country and yet very much our own,' said Steven Dondorp, CEO of Northwave Cyber Security. 'It is an important country for our BeNeLux organization. More and more medium and large companies in Belgium now know how to find us. The sport of rowing is synonymous with the interplay between people, process and equipment. At Northwave we call this the optimal alignment between Business, Bytes and Behaviour for Intelligent Security Operations. We are therefore very pleased to be able to support Belgian rowing in its optimization.

The intention is to improve the quality of the training facilities for the Belgian Sharks, including in preparation for the Paris Olympics and other major tournaments. We are very happy that Northwave wants to support our federations and the intention is to further develop a good cooperation with all parties.

"KBR is delighted to have signed a contract together with VRL and LFA where we all take a nice step in a partnership that benefits the Belgian Sharks and Coupe rowers and rowers! This helps our beautiful sport tremendously and we are thrilled to have Northwave on board."
