We are

(and we weren’t here 10 years ago…)

WebComrades is a mobile development agency, active in the sports, media, design and telco industry. We are happy to investigate all application development opportunities with a clear focus and vision.

You might know us from mobile apps that hit #1 chart positions in Europe or caught Int’l buzz: e.g. bike share projects in New York, Chicago and San Francisco Bay Area, Zaragoza and…Antwerp. !

Fun fact - Elle Magazine nominated our team as “Young Talents to Watch in 2014”. (but we’re actually not that young ;-)
