Cresco is proud to announce its role as sell-side counsel, assisting Datashift’s founder Nico Huybrechts, in the strategic partnership of Datashift, a prominent player in the data-driven consultancy- and analysis industry, with Finco, an established independent private equity player in Belgium.

Since its inception in 2015, Datashift has embarked on an incredible journey.

As Datashift commemorates its upcoming 10th anniversary, it embarks on an exciting new chapter of growth, underpinned by the strategic partnership with Finco. This collaboration is poised to further strengthen Datashift’s position as a trailblazer in the industry and open up new avenues for innovation and expansion.
