"Our partnership with PECB, a globally recognized leader in professional training and certification, aligns perfectly with our mission to enable organizations to responsibly harness the power of AI and data," said Geoffrey Ceunen, one of the founders of UMANIQ. "By integrating PECB's ISO 42001 training courses into our service offering, we aim to equip companies across Belgium, the Benelux region, and Europe with the right tools to navigate the complexities of AI governance, risk, and compliance," continued co-founder Koen Mathijs.

"We want to ensure that every organization we support achieves sustainable excellence. Compliance can be a springboard for innovation rather than a barrier, and ISO 42001 helps you achieve that," added Jens Meijen, co-founder and AI governance and compliance specialist within UMANIQ. "Together, we want to promote social and business values through transparency, security, and ethical practices."

"PECB's partnership agreement with UMANIQ enhances our business strategy by expanding access to a comprehensive range of training courses and professional certifications," said Tim Rama, CEO of PECB. "This partnership allows us to leverage our advanced training courses in the European market. In addition to providing outstanding training courses, UMANIQ has proven to be successful in the business market," concluded Rama.
