ABOUT

Armand Bogaarts founded LCL and Eurofiber, the two highly successful companies together with Laurens van Reijen. Eurofiber became the leading fiber network provider in the Netherlands, and LCL a leading data center operator in Belgium with 5 data centers.

He wanted to continue building businesses from scratch while enjoying his family and the spectacular scenery and natural beauty of Cala Tamarit in Spain. The name Filocian was chosen for its meaning: Philo/Filo (love) and Otium/Ocio (leisure) because he wants everyone to enjoy the amazing adventure and sense of freedom that initiatives can bring.  Filocian invests in the dreams of its team: all kinds of but mainly in adventure, properties and tech.

Entrepreneurship has been a lifetime passion and now his focus has moved from fiber infrastructure and data centers to tools that enable initiative with Messagenes, BonusBank, Agile Equity and Nova, and specifically in Southern Catalonia as a partner in StartSud Studio with several interesting participations like NeedCarHelp, among others.

Pierre Mollier joined Filocian 17 years ago when it decided to build Jungle-Trek, a high-rope adventure park on a 7 acre property Filocian owns on the coast close to Tarragona, Spain.  His love for outdoor and active entertainment turn ideas into reality. An example is ZiplineLabs, it creates active entertainment experiences for parks, shopping malls and leisure centers.
