KEYES (former NRB) - Vendor Profile - Worldwide

In April 2026, NRB Group underwent a transformative rebrand to become KEYES, uniting its subsidiaries under a single, integrated brand. This strategic move positions KEYES as a leading force in IT services, digital transformation, and sovereign cloud solutions across Belgium and Europe. With ambitious growth targets and a focus on innovation, KEYES is set to drive secure, scalable digital transformation for both public and private sectors, leveraging its expertise in cloud, cybersecurity, and AI.

  • KEYES aims for €900m revenue by 2029, representing a 28% growth target from 2025, driven by cross-entity synergies and expansion of sovereign cloud and AI offerings.
  • The Belgian Critical Cloud partnership with Cegeka strengthens KEYES’ position as a sovereign cloud leader, offering secure, compliant solutions for Belgium and Europe.
  • KEYES demonstrates strong vertical expertise in healthcare, public sector, financial services, manufacturing, and utilities, delivering tailored IT solutions.
  • KEYES’ international footprint spans Benelux, France, and nearshore centers in Romania, Italy, Luxembourg, and Greece, supporting clients.
  • Innovation is central to KEYES’ strategy, with group-level investments in AI, sovereign cloud, and cybersecurity, enabling secure and scalable transformation.

KEYES stands out as a diversified IT services provider, combining state ownership (through its Ethias link), strategic partnerships, and advanced technology to deliver end-to-end digital transformation. As Belgium and Europe demand greater data sovereignty and secure solutions, KEYES is well-positioned for continued growth and leadership in the IT services market through 2026 and beyond.
