Barco manufactures displays, projectors, and video walls across healthcare, enterprise, and entertainment verticals. The engineering org is actively adopting AI/ML tooling (Ray, Stable Diffusion, PyTorch) while modernizing legacy infrastructure (replacing SAP ECC and moving away from C/C++ toward Python and Rust) — suggesting a shift from hardware-only toward software-defined products and AI-enhanced imaging. Active projects span low-level visualization layers, digital pathology AI, and platform refactoring, indicating a push toward unified control software and intelligence at the edge.
Barco is a publicly traded Belgian manufacturer of professional display and visualization systems founded in 1934. The company operates across three core markets: healthcare (medical imaging and surgical displays), enterprise (conference rooms and control centers), and entertainment (cinema and events projection).

With 1,001–5,000 employees and hiring across 18 countries, Barco combines hardware manufacturing with growing software and AI capabilities, supported by active investments in telemetry, quality assurance automation, and cloud platform development.
Barco uses C/C++, Python, Node.js, TypeScript, Docker, AWS, Azure, PyTorch, OpenCV, and NVIDIA tools. The company is adopting Ray, Rust, and Stable Diffusion while replacing SAP ECC and reducing C/C++ dependencies.
