Mrs An Stammeleer, Area Manager Central &

Mrs Greta Drossart, Assistant
The Flanders Investment & Trade
agency promotes sustainable international business, in the interest of
both Flanders-based companies and overseas enterprises.
Whatever sector you are involved in, Flanders
Investment & Trade will help you establish contact with the Flemish

ventures to technology transfers.
At another level Flanders Investment & Trade
enhances Flanders’ position as the gateway to Europe for inward investors. The
agency identifies, informs, advises and supports overseas enterprises by
establishing production and research facilities, contact centers, headquarters,
logistics operations and the like in Flanders, the northern region of Belgium.
This broad focus on international
entrepreneurship, involving outward trade as well as inward investments,
requires not only a thorough knowledge of Flemish economy, but also an
extensive network outside of Flanders.
We have just that for you. Do visit our website
and discover our worldwide network. With over 90 offices we are bound to be
conveniently located near you, wherever you are.
