We remain inspired by the resilience of entrepreneurs building viable and adaptable business models. 2025 has been a strong year for many of our companies. We look forward to supporting these developments further in 2026.

In 2026, AI will remain a pragmatic lever for ex*****on, not a goal in itself.

[Vernissage — Rendez-vous jeudi 13 novembre de 17h à 21h avec Pierre Gaignard () et Eva L’Hoest () • Galerie Eric Mouchet Brussels

➞ « latent_breath_() » de Pierre Gaignard

« L’univers de Pierre Gaignard est une aventure intellectuelle et sensorielle, une traversée entre art, technologie et poésie où chaque œuvre devient le prolongement d’une recherche en mouvement. À travers son œuvre, l’artiste interroge la matière, le langage et la mémoire — et par là, notre manière même de percevoir le monde. Entrer dans l’atelier de Pierre, c’est pénétrer dans un monde parallèle, en constante expansion. Sa capacité à « inventer » semble sans limites : elle naît d’une curiosité insatiable, d’une propension naturelle à la recherche, qui le pousse à questionner, déconstruire, réinventer. Le processus d’exploration devient pour lui un espace d’expérimentation féconde, où la genèse d’une idée en engendre d’autres, nourrissant sans cesse son œuvre — infinie, mouvante, ouverte. […] » Isabella Vitale

➞ « inkstand – fragments of intent » de Eva L’Hoest

L’exposition présente Inkstand – Fragments of Intents, Ne pas réveiller les chiens qui dorment et The Inmost Cell, trois ensembles d’œuvres récentes d’Eva L’Hoest qui illustrent sa réflexion sur la manière dont les technologies façonnent nos gestes, nos comportements et nos imaginaires. En détournant la technique de la cire perdue à travers un processus numérique, Eva L’Hoest fait dialoguer le feu et le code, la fusion du métal et celle des données. Ses œuvres apparaissent comme les vestiges d’une archéologie du futur – des formes où persiste la mémoire des gestes et celle des codes qui les ont traversées.

🚀At the Faktory Fund, we celebrate a new milestone with e-peas S.A.!

In 2014, we embarked on an exciting journey by investing in the pioneering venture e-peas, a company at the forefront of developing energy harvesting technologies. As first-check investors, we believed in e-peas’ potential to redefine electronic product energy consumption, paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Today, e-peas has secured €17,5 million in funding to accelerate the deployment of its Energy Harvesting solutions and expand its product lines with ultra-low-power processing and sensing solutions.

🌱 **Growth and Success**
Achieving success in the semiconductor industry is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires patience, persistence, and the collective effort of a dedicated team and supportive partners. e-peas stands as a testimonial to this. The new impressive €17.5 million funding round is a new milestone. It reflects the e-peas team's relentless drive and the confidence placed in them by new and existing investors.

💡 **Looking Forward**
e-peas’ recent success not only represents one of our most significant achievements to date but also bridges our past and future investment strategies. It underscores our commitment to innovation across the board, demonstrating our ability to support groundbreaking technologies while adapting our focus to embrace the swift-paced dynamics of software ventures.

We are excited about the future and remain committed to fostering innovation, sustainability, and impactful change. 🙏

👏Congratulations to the entire e-peas team on this well-deserved success! Here's to moving forward together.
