What FeWeb does

FeWeb (Federatie van Webbedrijven / Fédération des Entreprises du Web) is a Belgian nonprofit professional association (vzw/asbl) founded in 2003 and headquartered in Ghent, with a secondary office in Brussels at the TransformaBXL innovation hub. It functions as the recognized employer organization for Belgium's digital sector — covering development, e-commerce, digital marketing, and digital creation — with formal standing in Joint Committee CP227 (Audiovisual) and Complementary Committee CP200 (Employees). The organization serves 400+ member companies plus a community of 4,000–7,000 individual professionals, freelancers, influencers, startups, and educational institutions.

FeWeb's offering is structured around eight service pillars: FeWeb Academy (sector-specific training), Legal Line (in partnership with Sirius Legal), HR Line, Knowledge Center (contracts and whitepapers), eXperience Labs (peer learning), FeWeb Awards (Digital Champs & Impact Awards plus Accessibility Champ), Focus Groups across five verticals (E-commerce, Tech Innovation, Cyber Security, Accessibility, Influencer Marketing), and Task Forces (Digital Champs, HR, Talent) that feed FeWeb's sectoral advocacy. The Influencer Marketing Alliance operates as a managed sub-community. Technical infrastructure is minimal: the FeWeb website is hosted and maintained by Procurios bvba, with no proprietary AI/ML or platform technology disclosed.

Revenue is generated entirely from annual membership fees (tiered by company employee count, with special rates for startups, influencers, and educational institutions), Gold and Silver partner sponsorships, training fees, and ancillary services such as the Business Center address offering (€200/year). Distribution runs through direct website sign-up, the Webbedrijvenzoeker member directory, and event/training registration. The permanent staff is approximately 13 people, supported by an active community of members participating in working groups.

Broad incumbents

• Comeos: Belgian trade federation for retail, commerce, and lifestyle; broader retail scope but FeWeb is an active collaborator on consumer-awareness initiatives and they share a Belgian sectoral-representation role.
• Agoria: Belgium's largest multisectoral technology industry federation; broader scope across manufacturing and tech but overlaps with FeWeb in digital services representation and Belgian sector advocacy.
• IAB Europe: European-level interactive advertising and digital marketing federation, sitting above national IAB chapters like IAB Belgium; relevant as the supranational counterpart to FeWeb's digital sector advocacy work.
• Unizo: Belgian SME and entrepreneurship organization serving a broader Belgian SMB base; a current FeWeb partner on the Consumer Week initiative and a comparable member-funded federation model.
• BeCommerce: Belgian e-commerce quality label and association covering online merchants; narrower e-commerce focus than FeWeb but overlapping members and a current FeWeb collaboration partner.
