Life at Orange

What if working out with your colleagues could help fund education for young people in need? For ten days, Orange made this possible with the group-wide All Connected Challenge, encouraging the people of Orange to get active for a good cause. 

Shaping the future is anyone's business. Yet, women are still underrepresented in technological and scientific professions that shape this future. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) will enable us to invent and shape the world of tomorrow. From digital revolutions to energy transitions, the major transformations of our time cannot be achieved without women. 

On February 9^th, Orange Belgium brought together innovative AI start-ups and tech experts for the Open Innovation Night at The Standard in Brussels, crowning six AI innovators in the 8^th Orange Fab edition. One thing was clear: open innovation isn’t just a buzzword; it's how we at Orange are building the telecoms network of tomorrow.

Every big dream needs a bold start. That’s why Orange Group designed a three-year international trainee and young professional program for recent graduates who are ready to accelerate their careers and take on responsibility.

The festive season is the perfect time to connect — with loved ones and with colleagues. That’s why, on 18 December, we hosted a cosy radio show packed with great music and fun surprises. Flemish host Dorien Leyers and her Walloon colleague David Antoine joined us at our HQ to create warm vibes during the Orange Radio broadcast. And our colleagues? They naturally added plenty of atmosphere and good cheer. 

Feeling good, having energy and staying sharp in both body and mind: it’s just as important as reaching your goals. Because when you feel great, you can grow to your full potential. That’s what we focus on at Orange Belgium. Not just once a year, but every day. And in October, that focus takes center stage during our annual Wellbeing Week: full of workshops, inspiration, and… our colleagues themselves.

Every summer, Orange Belgium opens its doors to a new generation of curious minds. In July, a group of ambitious tech students traded their flip-flops for laptops and swapped chilling for learning. They got a taste of what working in tech is really like, and what kind of future they could shape. 

This spring, close to 100 students from EPB (ULB/VUB), HEPL and UMONS left the classroom and stepped into the telecom world at Orange Belgium over the course of three separate visits.

On Sunday 25 May, the streets of Brussels filled with over 45,000 runners and walkers for the 45th edition (and sold-out!) Brussels 20 km. Just like last year, we showed up strong! Dozens of colleagues, one team, and a sea of orange shirts. 

Orange Belgium is once again offering tech students the opportunity to kick-start their professional journey in a real tech environment. 

The Digital Campus BeCentral at Brussels Central Station was buzzing with innovative ideas on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 March! No fewer than 90 students from a variety of disciplines (including technology, marketing and communication) and several universities, including ULB, IHECS, KUL and EPHEC, rolled up their sleeves in ten teams for an intense 48-hour hackathon. Their mission? To take up five exciting technological challenges involving artificial intelligence.

As part of the "Hello You" series, we’re handing the mic to colleagues across Orange Belgium—giving them the space to share their journeys, challenges, and the impact they make every day. This series highlights the people behind the innovation, the problem-solvers, and the driving forces shaping Orange Belgium.
