We publish Bits&Chips 8 times a year, as an online magazine. Occasionally, we will publish a printed edition as a special. At the start of a membership you can indicate whether you want to receive the digital editions and/or the printed editions.

We switched from Dutch to English because of two major trends. The first trend is the large influx of non-Dutch speaking expats that have flocked to Belgium and the Netherlands, thanks to the global success of the high tech companies and research institutes in these countries. The second trend is that of Belgian and Dutch high tech companies becoming more export driven. Bits&Chips seeks to capture a diverse and international audience for them.
