The theme of the sixth edition of ARKimedes’ annual report is “Growth”. For the first time since the financial crisis, a series of new “green shoots” have arisen in the Flemish economy. In order to render this visually, Cantilis put the tulip at the heart of the photographic concept. Tulips are, after all, early bloomers. Shortly after the winter cold, their flower bulbs produce powerful sprouts which evolve into colorful, recognizable flowers in just a few weeks time.
Stedelijk Onderwijs Antwerpen, which was transformed into an independent branch in 2010, aims to become known as thé reference for education in Flanders within the span of the next couple of years. By means of an annual report/corporate brochure, the board of directors wanted to show its both professional and warm-hearted approach to the outside world. Cantilis was brought in for its combined offer of corporate publishing and its highly content-driven method of working.
From 16 in-depth interviews with members of the board and the teaching staff, 120 pages of transcriptions, a few hundred pages of documentation, 5 photo shoots and 800 pictures, Cantilis filtered out the essence a made a portrait of Stedelijk Onderwijs Antwerpen both in words and in images.
Incofin invests in sustainable Microfinance Institutions in developing countries. By means of storytelling and fitting images, Cantilis wanted to focus on several of Incofin's activities in the annual report 2010.

Cantilis has won a red dot award for communication design for its 2006 annual report for venture capitalist ARKimedes. The award acknowledges sofisticated and innovative design.

Over the last few years, Cantilis created a lively, dynamic corporate identity for Sirris. This identity fitted in perfectly with the lively, dynamic way in which the experts at Sirris assist companies with their innovation policy. Sirris’ new annual report has exactly the same feel and its magazine style makes reading anything but boring!
PMV wanted to bring the story of its numerous activities in its annual report 2009. Cantilis designed the report in the form of a dictionary, or rather an abecedary, which encourages readers to actively browse and discover.

The economic crisis has made it increasingly difficult for companies to finance their projects. The ARKimedes Fund, however, continues to provide this financing. Hence in the ARKimedes annual report, a number of entrepreneurs were photographed in the ports of Antwerp and Ghent with the "ARKimedes man" extending a helping hand.

The PMV (ParticipatieMaatschappij Vlaanderen) Annual Report 2008 uses a solar eclipse as its design theme. The image of the sun that grows dark but later shines out brightly again is a striking symbol. Black is for the crisis, and also for austerity and moderation. Mimosa yellow depicts the optimism that PMV stands for in periods of uncertainty and political change.
