With LRM, we are investing in the transformation of the former industrial mining site ‘Terhills’ into a sustainable tourist and recreational destination with international appeal and high experiential value. In total, 219 hectares of former industrial land have been converted into nature (100 ha) and recreation (119 ha). From an economic perspective, the highlights at Terhills include the Terhills Hotel, Terhills Cablepark, Elaisa Wellness, and Terhills Resort, a sustainable holiday park with 250 vacation villas.

Thor Park in Genk, spanning 93 hectares, is a comprehensive redevelopment project on the former Waterschei coal mining site in Genk. It is a business, technology, training, and science park with the ambition to become the leading competence center in three domains: energy transition, smart manufacturing, and smart city applications.

TVL aired the opening of FacThory at Thor Park. You can watch it here.

Dispogroup, supplier of packaging solutions for the food industry, presents a concept of innovative devices combined with packaging that significantly increase the freshness and shelf life of food products. In addition, the company focuses on packaging materials that are 100% recyclable. At the same time, Dispogroup uses packaging made of recycled materials as much as possible, which is produced by sister company Impacked International. For the further roll-out of this sustainable story, Dispogroup is joining forces with VLAIO via the SME growth subsidy and with LRM, which is granting the company a Breakthrough loan.

Hippo Dx has developed an innovative device that enables hospitals to conduct allergy tests faster, cheaper, and more accurately.
To scale internationally, the company has raised a total of €4.4 million from existing investors as well as from LRM and the American Allerfund Ventures.

Recybuild, a family-owned company specialized in sustainable, recycled plastic products, has received a Breakthrough Loan of €250,000.

LRM, an early investor, reaffirms its confidence in this rapidly growing scale-up, alongside Brahim Boulbahaiem.

LRM invests in experiential real estate to enhance the appeal and tourism potential of Limburg while creating sustainable jobs.

Currently, LRM is working on the redevelopment of the former mining site of Beringen under the banners of be-MINE and be-NATURE. We are investing specifically in tourism projects that have a positive long-term impact on the region.

Similar to what we did at Terhills, we aim to transform be-MINE into a tourist destination with numerous attractions that draw visitors from across the region.

Another example showcasing our ambitions to contribute to sustainable cities and communities is our focus on sustainable businesses within our incubators:

• Greenville: focusing on circular economy
• IncubaThor: focusing on Smart Energy, Innovation & Technology
• Agropolis: fostering innovative companies in agriculture and horticulture

On the SME zone of Terhills, we have installed 140 large batteries. This provides a sustainable alternative to using gas-fired power plants for balancing the electricity grid. In 2024, we sold this project to Centrica (England).

You can watch the report on TV-Limburg.

In May 2021, Terhills inaugurated two brand-new solar panel parks. The two parks—one on land and one on water—span a combined area of 3 hectares, featuring 7,000 solar panels and producing a total of 3MWp.

LRM prevents flooding by pumping surface water that no longer finds its natural path due to subsidence in former mining areas. This water is directed towards the canal. It’s important to emphasize that only surface water is pumped, not drinking water or mine water.

This is not considered water wastage. Groundwater expert and VUB professor, Marijke Huysmans, confirms this. The water downstream serves various purposes such as irrigation, drinking water supply, infiltration into neighboring soils, and maintaining stream levels. Constructing reservoirs requires significant investment and is not economically viable.

With LRM Climate, we are committed to the sustainability of all LRM locations. This includes initiatives such as installing solar panels, charging stations, promoting sustainable mobility, and other energy-related projects.

For example, our Corda Campus features 218 charging points and a fast-charging station for 24 electric vehicles. There are currently 88 charging points at Terhills and we also installed a lot of charging points at our incubators.

The total number of charging points we have realised with LRM Climate so far: 400.

In both 2024 and 2025, we were able to inspire stakeholders from EU coal regions! Our CEO Tom Vanham went to the political conference in Poland and shared his experiences with LRM during the impressive transformations of Terhills and be-MINE NV. Among other things, he zoomed in on how to attract private investment in Coal+ regions.

With its 100,000 m² of existing building heritage, the historic mining site be-MINE is the largest industrial heritage site in Flanders and unique in Europe. At Terhills we also realized a handsome transformation of the dark gray site into a beautiful green place where we have already welcomed more than 3 million guests.

Both transformations are a long-term project, but with so much positive impact for the neighborhood and for the region.

To better understand how we can assist companies at every stage of their growth and how we can get more companies on board with sustainability, we have established a Chair of entrepreneurship in Sustainable Entrepreneurship in collaboration with UHasselt. This chair focuses on three pillars. In addition to sustainable investments and investing in long-term partnerships, the focus is on sustainable growth to ensure that those who start can also sustainably scale their businesses.

LRM organised a conference where it shared its experiences of the past 30 years in turning a former (mining) site into a beautiful place with a positive impact on employment, sustainability and economic growth. With Hasselt’s Corda Campus, be-MINE in Beringen and Terhills in Maasmechelen, LRM can present 3 concrete transformations of former mining sites and companies. A topic that attracted a very international audience: among the 80 attendees, ministers, ambassadors and representatives from Zimbabwe, Nepal and Ghana were present.
