Lucerne, 05.10.2026 – Today we announce that BICS, a Proximus Global company and leading international communications enabler, is now a member of the SCION Association.
BICS has been deploying and testing SCION technology since 2023. Today, it formalizes that commitment by joining the SCION Association, with a clear goal: making SCION the go-to connectivity solution for large enterprises, both local and global, with key points of presence planned in Belgium, France, Singapore, and the U.S.
Hans Wouters, Head of Capacity Connect at BICS, said: “Business leaders today are being asked to treat cyber resilience as a strategic topic. SCION lets enterprises control the exact network paths through which their data travels, eliminating risks like route hijacking that traditional internet routing cannot prevent. With SCION, we are delivering highly secure and resilient connectivity to the most sensitive and critical sectors of our society, providing peace of mind and choice to our customers.”
With BICS joining the SCION Association, together we look forward to raising awareness of this solution across businesses worldwide, especially for mission-critical services and applications. Our joint effort started in the Benelux region, with BICS as a Gold Sponsor of SCION DAY 2026, the flagship SCION event, which took place on May 19, 2026, in Amsterdam.
SCION Association’s co-CEO, Luzius Cameron, says: “We are thrilled to welcome BICS to the SCION Association and to work together across our various committees from SCION marketing to adoption, including bringing this market-ready solution to businesses and sectors worldwide.”
