From the Attic to the Front Page: ElioVP Recognized as a Pioneer in Chip Optimization & Data Center Infrastructure

It has been some incredible weeks for the team here at Eliovp. We are extremely proud to share that our company was recently featured on the front page of De Tijd, Belgium’s leading business newspaper.

Seeing our story, from our founder’s early days tinkering with wires in an attic to generating €215 million in revenue, printed in bold on the front page of the physical newspaper was a milestone moment. It is a testament to the hard work of our team and our relentless drive to squeeze every ounce of performance out of today’s hardware.

The Race for Efficiency

The main feature, titled “Vlaams bedrijf optimaliseert chips van AMD en Nvidia en draait daarmee 215 miljoen euro omzet,” extensively researching our origins.

As the article highlights, we started by unlocking the hidden potential of hardware from giants like AMD and Nvidia. By optimizing software to bypass standard factory limitations, we provided the speed and efficiency that the crypto and AI markets were starving for. As our founder Elio Van Puyvelde told the newspaper: “In the race for efficiency, my solution is worth gold.”

Building the Infrastructure of the Future

While we are famous for software optimization, the coverage didn’t stop there. We are particularly proud of the follow-up analysis De Tijd published just a week later regarding the booming data center industry.

As AI models grow larger, traditional data centers are struggling to cope with the massive heat and power density required by modern GPUs. We realized early on that to truly support the next generation of computing, we couldn’t just fix the chips; we had to build the environment they live in.

We have pivoted significantly toward designing and building modular data centers. These aren’t just standard server rooms; they are high-performance, prefabricated modules designed to handle the extreme energy densities of the AI revolution.

Setting the Standard for the Industry

Perhaps the proudest moment for us was seeing ElioVP recognized not just as a participant in this market, but as a pioneer.

In the follow-up article “Belgische bedrijven profiteren van boom datacenters,” De Tijd highlighted how the Flemish data center ecosystem is rapidly expanding. We are honored that the newspaper points to ElioVP as a trailblazer in this space, noting that our early innovations helped pave the way for other local players now entering the market.

It is a privilege to see that our specialized approach to modular construction and high-density cooling has become a blueprint for the industry. We are proud to see a strong tech ecosystem growing right here in Belgium, with ElioVP at the forefront.

Looking Ahead

We want to extend a huge thank you to the editorial team at De Tijd for telling our story, more specifically Emma Verplancke, and to photographer Jonas Lampens for the fantastic shots.

Most importantly, we want to thank our partners and our team. Whether we are optimizing a single GPU or deploying a modular data center to train the next Large Language Model, ElioVP is committed to staying ahead of the curve.
