An ocean of (48,000) tulips
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.

Pierre Lagrange’s secret to success
How does Pierre Lagrange (founder of fund manager GLG, now part of Man Group) explain his fund’s success? “We give our employees freedom and responsibility.” He refers to FC Barcelona, where he attends a training every once in a while, and modestly calls himself “nothing but the coach of a team with amazing players”.

Art is big business again
“Art is big business again” is the title of the interview with Christine Mostert, which was published in De Morgen on the 30th of April 2011. After having worked at Christie’s Belgium for 18 years, the art historian was employed by Puilaetco to assist clients who wish to invest in art.

Metagenics: dietary supplements in all of Europe
Since Paul Coussement was appointed head of Metagenics Europe, the company has grown into the national number four of dietary supplements. Both turnover and staff expanded enormously in the last couple of years. And there are no signs that this trend will be receding in the future: doctors are becoming more receptive to dietary supplements and the aging population could be a potential target group. The company, established in Ostend, has become the linchpin for European expansion in, amongst others, the Netherlands, France and Italy. More than enough material for a positive story in Trends, is what we thought.
