Sterpunt Inclusief Ondernemen

What Sterpunt Inclusief Ondernemen does

Sterpunt Inclusief Ondernemen operates as a Belgian non-profit sector federation headquartered in Gent, doing business as De Werkplekarchitecten and rebranding in 2026 to Sectorfederatie Arbeidsmarktintegratie. Founded in 1991, the organization represents and supports werkplekarchitecten (workplace architects) and social enterprises operating within the PC.329.01 and PC.329.03 joint committees in Flanders. Its core offering is a portfolio of membership services — policy monitoring, networking and knowledge-sharing events, and customized support — designed to strengthen the capacity of member organizations to deliver inclusive labor-market outcomes, alongside a public directory service (Zoek een Werkplekarchitect), an annual networking day (De Dag van de Jobcoach), and a blog and newsletter featuring Flemish Parliament Committee on Work summaries.

The organization's business model is member-funded rather than transaction-based, with revenue likely derived from membership fees paid by werkplekarchitecten and social enterprises, supplemented by Flemish government or European subsidies for inclusive labor-market programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily direct-to-member through policy briefings, member events, and customized advisory, with secondary reach into end-employers and jobseekers via the public directory and content channels. The federation has 15 employees, no disclosed subsidiaries or external investors, and no app or proprietary technology platform beyond its website, directory, and content infrastructure.

The competitive position rests on its recognized representational role for PC.329.01 and PC.329.03, its 30-plus-year institutional history in the sector, and its role as a bridge between field practitioners and Flemish policymakers. Geographic scope is regional, focused on Flanders, with no global footprint claims and no publicly disclosed customers, awards, patents, certifications, or partnerships beyond its member ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Inclusion Europe: European advocacy organization representing people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Comparable as an advocacy body operating in the same inclusive-employment and social-inclusion space, with a broader European footprint but a more rights-oriented mandate.
• European Social Network (ESN): European network for public social services. Comparable as a membership-based association supporting organizations in social-service delivery — including employment-related services — through policy, networking, and knowledge sharing.

Broad incumbents

• VBO / FEB (Verbond van Belgische Ondernemingen / Fédération des Entreprises de Belgique): Largest Belgian employers' federation representing companies across sectors. Comparable as a Belgian federation providing policy advocacy and member services, though broader in scope and larger in scale than the inclusive-employment sector federation.
• VDAB (Vlaamse Dienst voor Arbeidsbemiddeling en Beroepsopleiding): Flemish public employment service that handles labor market intermediation, training, and inclusive employment across Flanders. Comparable as a structural actor in the Flemish labor market integration ecosystem that the federation engages with and complements, though VDAB is far larger and government-run.
• RVA / ONEM (National Employment Office): Belgian federal employment office administering unemployment benefits and labor market policies. Comparable as an institutional actor influencing the policy environment relevant to the federation's members and the PC.329.01/329.03 committees.

Direct peers

• Federgon: Belgian federation for HR services, staffing, and recruitment. Comparable as a sector federation representing member organizations in a labor-market-related industry, providing advocacy, networking, and policy engagement to its members in Belgium.
• Verso (Vlaams Economisch Sociaal Overlegplatform): Flemish employers' organization engaged in social-economic dialogue and policy advocacy on behalf of member enterprises. Comparable as a Flemish sector/employer federation offering member services, policy monitoring, and representation.
• European Association of Supported Employment (EUSE): European umbrella body promoting supported employment across Europe. Comparable as a federation advancing the supported-employment sector through networking, knowledge sharing, advocacy, and policy engagement — closely aligned with the federation's mission.
• EASPD (European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities): European federation representing social service providers supporting people with disabilities, including supported employment. Comparable as a sector federation providing advocacy, networking, and policy representation to members working in inclusive employment and social services.

Regional players

• GTB (Gespecialiseerd Team Bemiddeling): Specialized mediation teams operating within VDAB that support people with barriers to employment. Comparable as a Flemish operational actor in the same inclusive labor market value chain the federation represents, though GTB is a public service delivery body.
