SUMMARY

Belgium-based predictive maintenance company I-care has completed a €20 million fundraising and refinancing round reserved for existing shareholders and employees, officially reaching unicorn status.

The company plans to accelerate growth, expand market share, welcome external investors in 2026 and revive plans for a previously postponed initial public offering.

“Becoming a unicorn is a symbolic milestone. To achieve this we chose to invest before reaping the rewards: we bet on AI when few believed in it, we prioritised R&D and we built our own production unit. These choices were sometimes difficult but they were essential to staying ahead of the game. Today, our results confirm that this strategy was the right one,” explained Fabrice Brion, CEO of I-care.
