Futureproofed

TLDR

Futureproofed was a Belgian cleantech company providing climate action planning software to local governments, acquired by Sweco.

Overview

Futureproofed built software that helped cities and municipalities plan, track, and report on their climate action commitments. Its platform enabled local governments to translate high-level climate targets into concrete project roadmaps and measure progress over time.

The company was co-founded by Willem Delbare, who subsequently founded Aikido Security. Futureproofed was acquired by Sweco, a Swedish infrastructure consultancy, which integrated the climate planning tooling into its advisory services for public sector clients.

The company's exit and the subsequent career of its co-founder make it a relevant reference point in the Belgian cleantech and govtech narrative.
