Summer is slipping away, autumn is coming, and winter is just around the corner. But there is no such thing as hibernation here! Our companies are already getting ready for next year, and our amazing region is ready to welcome ever more investors.

Wallonia is perfectly placed, with wide-open spaces and key crossroads: a gateway to the rest of Europe. This, combined with our high standard of living, our skilled workforce, and our social cohesion, means we welcome incoming companies with open arms. This is our core promise to you. For examples of successful integration, look no further than Vesuvius and Calyos.
Or, for a new star on our horizon, take a look at AWEX’s new prize for foreign investors, which this year has been awarded to Catalent Gosselies.

And what about our exporters? The Wallonia International Business Awards have singled out Trasis, Filame, Univercells, EVS and Aerospacelab for recognition. We have also chosen to highlight Les Ateliers du Saupont for their bold cosmetics brand Formy, as well as FN, for fostering our greater electronic independence in the world. Alongside this, we wanted to feature our young ambassadors and their impressive accomplishments over the last 15 years.
