For several years, Econocom, a responsible digital entrepreneur, has been committed to fighting cancer alongside Télévie, a charity event organised in Belgium.
Econocom Belux has been supporting Télévie for thirteen years now as a logistics partner for this initiative, which raises funds to finance research in cancer and leukaemia in children and adults. Télévie is organised by the media group RTL TVI in Luxembourg and French-speaking Belgium. Since it began over thirty years ago, it has provided funding for around 3,000 scientists and 2,700 research projects.
The closing evening of its 2023 edition took place on 22 April at the Louvexpo venue in Belgium. Once again, Télévie fulfilled its promise and raised €11,229,081.
But what was this year’s theme? Adventurers! ‘Today, our adventurers don’t always have a cowboy hat and a lasso. But they join forces for maximum effect!’ We do not have full mastery of cancer. Only research helps us attack it and make faster progress in the field. Through Télévie, the resources dedicated to this research are doubled. Each year, Télévie provides fifty percent of cancer research funds and showcases the bravery of patients, researchers and the committee.
We would like to thank the volunteers who worked relentlessly to equip the donations centre in La Louvière with around 200 refurbished PCs. Through this operation, donations from viewers were recorded during the closing evening, which was broadcasted live on the television channel RTL TVI. Technical support was also provided by a team working under Thierry Prete to ensure constant availability.
In return, the RTL group gave Econocom much publicity on site and on screens, including this twenty-second advertisement that was broadcast on the RTL group’s television channels and social media pages.

Research needs you. Together, let’s support Télévie! The dates for the 2024 edition are already set!
