Sirris is Belgium's independent technology innovation partner, a not-for-profit helping companies apply emerging technologies before they go mainstream. Together, we're building the most relevant product management community in Belgium: grounded in real practice, focused on what's next.
Sirris co-builds the programme with us.
Who is Sirris?
Sirris helps Belgian companies navigate technology transitions, typically 3 to 5 years before they become mainstream. With a network of 2,500+ companies, they connect research, industry, and practitioners into something actionable.
For The Product Consortium, that means access to expertise, events infrastructure, and a network that reaches far beyond the product world, into the industries where product thinking matters most.

PR_D_CT DAY: where it started
We've been co-organising PR_D_CT DAY with Sirris since 2023, a full-day unconference for product people, bringing together practitioners from across Belgium for talks, workshops, and the kind of conversations that don't happen at vendor events.
What started as a shared event grew into something bigger. Same vision: give product teams access to what's coming next, through people who are already doing it. The partnership evolved naturally from there.
For potential partners
How we work with partners
Our community is curated. We don't do logo-slapping, sponsored slots disguised as sessions, or lead capture lists. If you want to contribute to the community, here's how.
Partners can
- Offer perks as part of the Member Pack
- Host sessions that teach something real: no pitch, just practice
- Participate in the community like anyone else
Partners cannot
- Run sales pitches as sessions
- Collect member data for outbound
- Disguise demos as learning
What it looks like
- Clear member perks with simple claim steps
- Practical content with real examples
- Genuine value for product people, not marketing reach
Ecosystem
Product partnerships in Belgium's innovation landscape
Strong product communities depend on more than events alone. They need a bridge to applied research, cross-industry perspective, and partners who understand both SaaS and physical innovation. That is why The Product Consortium works with Sirris as a strategic technology partner: to anchor the community in Belgium's real innovation economy—not only software, but also hardware, AI adoption, and industrial transformation.
Together we focus on what product leaders need next: the future of SaaS, physical AI and connected devices, and a structural product ecosystem that connects Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp, and the wider Benelux. Whether you discover us through member gatherings, membership and member perks, or PR_D_CT DAY, the partnership model is the same: curated value for product people, transparent rules for brands and vendors who want to contribute—without turning the community into a lead list.
