Nova Reperta is a Brussels management consultancy that turns strategy into results, from operating model and operational excellence to change management. It has also run innovation ecosystems on energy and mobility and helps companies build ESG into how they operate.
About Nova Reperta
Nova Reperta was founded in Brussels in 2011 and has offices in Brussels and Amsterdam. Its name, Latin for 'new discoveries', comes from a series of engravings by the Bruges Renaissance artist Joannes Stradanus. The firm counts 60 consultants and managers and works mostly for medium-sized and large companies in financial services, insurance, HR services, mobility and transportation, pharmaceuticals and energy and utilities. Clients named in its cases include Elia Group, ALD Automotive (now Ayvens), DELA, Q8, Toyota, Carglass, Agfa, Immobel and ING Lease. Through Nova Reperta Innovation, it operated the IO.Energy ecosystem for Belgian grid operators and coached the co.mobility ecosystem. Nova Reperta formalised its own ESG strategy in 2024, published its first sustainability report and says it was the first company to receive the D-Carbonize Label for its carbon footprint reporting. It reports a client NPS of 79.
An open innovation ecosystem for consumer-centric energy services
Belgium's grid operators wanted market parties to develop new energy services that help consumers use their solar panels, heat pumps and batteries and take part in the energy market. Nova Reperta Innovation operated the IO.Energy ecosystem, facilitated by Elia, Fluvius, ORES, RESA and Sibelga and launched on 21 February 2019. Using its Map, Mark, Move approach, it ran 5 ideation workshops over 2 months to validate use cases and business models, then agile development cycles of 3 to 6 months in small partner groups, followed by large-scale demonstrations of 12 to 18 months. Topics covered energy services for buildings, homes, communities and e-mobility, customer flexibility and meter data.

Some 50 organisations co-creating new mobility solutions for Belgium
Company cars, urbanisation and an inefficient transport system put Belgian mobility under heavy strain, and no single company can fix it alone. co.mobility, founded by AG Insurance, BNP Paribas Fortis, Brussels Airport Company, Infrabel, NMBS/SNCB and Touring, brought together corporates, start-ups, academics and experts. Nova Reperta set the strategic priorities with the founding partners: multimodal travel, electrification, the commuter experience, mobility hubs, on-demand mobility and access to remote business areas. Consortia then spent 3 months developing concepts with customer validation, a business model, a financial plan and a roadmap, and Nova Reperta coached the selected teams for 7 months as they built and tested a minimum viable product.

A data-driven sourcing function for a global vehicle leasing company
ALD Automotive, present in 43 countries with a fleet of over 1.7 million vehicles, faced vehicle electrification, new mobility players and supply chain disruption, all of which changed its supply market. Nova Reperta assessed the maturity of its central and national sourcing teams on category performance, data and systems, and organisation and capabilities, then analysed how changing OEM business models affect vehicle sourcing. It helped ALD set up shared performance metrics and regular performance dialogues with its local affiliates. ALD can now measure sourcing performance at central and local level, see the impact of its sourcing strategies and spread best practices between markets.
