Establishment of actiflow
In March 2005, Roy Campe and Eric Terry founded Actiflow as a spin-off from Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering.
Later that same year, they started a collaboration with Ferrari SpA to jointly develop an innovative aerodynamic technology for the automotive sector. During this period, Actiflow was based at YES!Delft, the university’s incubator.

First consultancy project
Media coverage of the collaboration with Ferrari generated growing interest from companies with questions about aerodynamics. In 2007, this resulted in Actiflow’s first consultancy project. In this project, Actiflow investigated and optimized the airflow in medical air blankets used to keep patients warm during long surgeries.

Relocation from Delft to Breda
The TU Delft incubator quickly reached full capacity, meaning that “older” companies had to make room for new startups. After three years, Actiflow had to leave the building. Since both founders combined their professional lives in the Netherlands with private lives in Belgium, Breda was the ideal new base of operations. After consulting with and receiving approval from their staff, the relocation became a reality.

Ferrari Presents the Actiflow System at the Geneva Motor Show – Expansion into the building physics sector
After four years of joint development, Ferrari implemented Actiflow’s innovation in the new Ferrari 599XX. At the Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari made a big impression by presenting “The Actiflow System.”
That same year, Actiflow expanded its activities into the building physics sector, conducting wind comfort studies for new high-rise developments.

Actiflow develops its first software
To increase the company’s scalability, Actiflow decided to develop software that would allow clients to perform their own airflow simulations. At the request of a filter system supplier, Actiflow developed a tool to simulate airflow and smoke concentrations in a welding hall. The client used the results to demonstrate the impact of their systems during their sales process.

Opening of City Skydive Utrecht
City Skydive Center in Utrecht was one of Actiflow’s largest projects and opened its doors in 2016. Over the two preceding years, Actiflow designed the skydive tunnels, developed the software, and tested the installations. Even after the opening, Actiflow remained involved to ensure smooth operation. We consider the success of City Skydive to be a major milestone in our history.

First projects outside the Benelux and start of wind tunnel assessments
Until 2019, Actiflow conducted wind studies exclusively using numerical simulations. That year, Actiflow began collaborating with the UK’s Building Research Establishment (BRE), gaining access to a wind tunnel for studying wind loads on façades and building structures. This collaboration enabled Actiflow to complete its first projects for clients in the United Kingdom and Gibraltar. After BRE’s wind tunnel closed, Actiflow signed an agreement with Imperial College London for the use of their wind tunnel facilities.

Launch of the Koga Kinsei at the Tokyo Olympic Games
Together with City Skydive, we consider the development of the Koga Kinsei track bike one of the most remarkable projects in our history. Between 2017 and 2020, Actiflow collaborated with Koga, KNWU, TU Delft and Pontis Engineering to develop a completely new track bike, taking full responsibility for its aerodynamic design. We designed the bike entirely from a blank sheet of paper, with only UCI regulations as constraints.
The result: a track bike with 25% less drag than its predecessor, winning a total of 6 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals at the Olympic Games in Tokyo and Paris.

Launch of the Online Wind Assessment Tool
Over the years, wind comfort studies have become an increasingly important part of Actiflow’s activities. With the Online Wind Assessment Tool, clients can conduct preliminary wind comfort studies themselves at an early stage of the building design process, helping to prevent issues later on.

First real-time wind map for airports
Actiflow continued to develop its software and launched an online tool that allows airports to monitor and predict wind speeds at gates in real time. In 2024, the first client implemented the Wind Map. On windy days, airports use this information to handle aircraft more efficiently.
