About us

A materials science background, a Ghent base, and a partner lab vision.

DegaSim is being built as a small, research based partner lab. The current focus is to create a strong technical portfolio first, then grow carefully toward external characterization, simulation, and validation support.

Our story

From materials science research to characterization, simulation, and validation.

DegaSim is being developed from a materials science and engineering background in Ghent. The idea is to combine experimental characterization, numerical simulation, and validation with a practical service mindset.

The long term vision is to build a small partner lab with materials science and simulation expertise, able to support companies with characterization, model calibration, validation, and clear technical reporting.

Why Ghent

A strong place for technology, research, and startups.

Ghent is a good base for a future simulation company because it combines university research, technical talent, and a growing technology ecosystem.

Ghent University reported that Ghent ranked 10th globally and 4th in Europe in Dealroom's Global Tech Ecosystem Index. Dealroom's Belgium startup ecosystem profile also lists Ghent as one of the top Belgian startup hubs by enterprise value.

For DegaSim, this matters because the company idea sits between research, materials engineering, startups, and practical industrial simulation.
