BELGIAN ECONOMIC MISSION 11

Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, Princess

of Belgium, was born in Brussels on 5 June

1962. She is the second child of King Albert II

and Queen Paola.

After her secondary education in Brussels,

Princess Astrid studied art history for a year

in Leiden in the Netherlands. She complet-

ed her education in Geneva, at the Institute

of European Studies and in Michigan in the

United States.

In Brussels on 22 September 1984, Princess

Astrid married Lorenz, Archduke of Austria-

Este, who became Prince of Belgium in 1995.

The couple has five children, all born in

Belgium: Amedeo (21 February 1986), Maria

Laura (26 August 1988), Joachim (9 December

1991), Luisa Maria (11 October 1995) and

Laetitia Maria (23 April 2003).

Princess Astrid has always shown particular

concern for those in society who risk falling

through the net. She supports initiatives that

assist the disadvantaged, in particular single

mothers and people lacking in education and

skills.

In late June 2009, the International Paralympic

Committee (IPC) Governing Board ratified the

appointment of Princess Astrid as a member

of the IPC Honorary Board.

In January 2010, the charity Action Damien/

Damiaanactie announced that Princess Astrid

had agreed to take over from HM Queen Fabiola

as Honorary President of the organisation.

As Honorary President of the Queen Elisabeth

Medical Foundation (QEMF) and the King

Baudouin Foundation’s Scientific and Medical

Funds, Princess Astrid lends her support to

fundamental medical research. She is involved

in the fight against epidemics and pandem-

ics, including from 2007 until 2015 as Special

Representative of the Roll Back Malaria (RBM)

Partnership. The Princess is also committed to

championing the victims of violence, most no-

tably in efforts to combat antipersonnel mines.

On 20 June 2013, the Secretariat of the Ottawa

Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention an-

nounced that Princess Astrid - as Special

Envoy of the Convention - would be part of a

working group tasked with promoting the trea-

ty at a diplomatic level in states that had not

yet joined.

Princess Astrid joined the Belgian Armed

Forces on 22 May 1997. She is a colonel in the

Medical Unit.

The Princess is involved in the public activities

of the Royal Family.

Princess Astrid represented the King at his

request during the trade missions to Angola

& South Africa and to India in 2013, to the

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia & the Sultanate of

Oman, to Colombia & Peru and to Malaysia

& Singapore in 2014, to Qatar & the United

Arab Emirates and to Western Canada in

2015, to Indonesia and to the United States

of America-Texas in 2016 and to the Republic

of Korea and to the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire

Aseptic Technologies developed and manufactures innovative aseptic

production equipment for the Pharmaceutical industry. Its equipment

are designed to provide safer & easier sterility assurance for liquid

aseptic filling operations.

The vials are provided clean, closed & sterile (ready-to-fill) to users, to

eliminate all preparation steps from the process. The filling is performed

by a special needle piercing the stopper in place. Then, the stopper is

immediately heat-resealed by a laser to restore a complete closure

integrity.

The benefits of the technology are multiple: a better sterility assurance

to the patient, reduced investments, a better safety during whole supply

chain and a strong operating cost reduction.

The technology is widely used in the Regenerative Medicine since it

offers uncompromised closure integrity even during storage at cryogenic

temperature (-196°C).

ATOMIUM

The Atomium was built as the main pavilion and icon of the 1958 World

Expo of Brussels (Expo 58). In the 1950s, faith in scientifi c progress was

great, and a structure depicting atoms was chosen to embody this.

The Atomium depicts nine iron atoms in the shape of the body-centred

cubic unit cell of an iron crystal, magnifi ed 165 billion times.

It stands 102 meters high and is still today the National symbol of

Belgium.

An average of 600.000 visitors come to visit the Atomium every year

again, and enjoy the amazing panoramic views over Brussels and its

surrounding.

Six spheres accessible to the public:

• the bottom sphere is reserved for permanent exhibitions dedicated to

the 1950s, the 1958 World Expo and the construction of the Atomium;

• the second sphere hosts temporary exhibitions;

• the third and central spheres have a versatile vocation and allow the

organisation of various events, films, concerts, parties or conferences;

• the top sphere, in addition to the panorama, holds a restaurant;

• the sixth sphere is the children›s ball, intended for the organisation of

workshops of urban pedagogy, allowing the children from six to twelve

years to spend the night there.

BRASSERIE DE L’ABBAYE DU VAL-DIEU

In the peaceful countryside outside Liège in Belgium, lies the Cistercian

Abbey of Val-Dieu.

The abbey was founded in the 13th century ( 1216 ). Val-Dieu beer is

the only non-trappiest brewing abbey in Belgium. Their genuine ales are

based on the recipe perfected.

Centuries ago and contain only the purest natural ingredients, including

fine Belgian barley malt, an aromatic blend of hops, uniquely cultivated

yeast, and water from their own well.

Top fermentation gives Val-Dieu ales a distinctive fruitiness of flavor.

Secondary fermentation adds to the ale’s richness and body.

In the 19th century, the large farms of Hainaut grew barley and hops so

they could brew seasonal beers for their field workers. In Silly, a small

village around 40 kilometres to the south-west of Brussels, Marcelin

Hypolite Mynbrughen started up his own brewery in 1850, originally

named Cense de la Tour. The 6th generation is now at the Head of the

brewery.

“A world of tastes”

At Brasserie de Silly artisan brewing expertise has passed from father to

son through six generations since 1850. The brewery is now recognised

as a reference point for quality. Customers from Belgium and far beyond

value the accessibility, customer service and flexibility of Brasserie de

Silly and its wide range of Belgian beers. Each beer is brewed in the

artisan way using the very best ingredients: pure water, a unique yeast

(the secret of which is only known to the master brewer), the best hops

we can find and top-quality malt.

BREWERY DE BLOCK

In the 14th century, when the fi rst brewing guilds became very popular,

Henricus De Block already obtained the brewing right, as a vassal of the

Duke of Brabant and Burgundy. However, it is Louis De Block who would

found Brewery De Block in 1887, and we have been brewing traditional

Belgian beers ever since.

A long brewing tradition ties the past to the present. Today, our beer

portfolio consists of Kastaar, Abbey Beer Dendermonde, Satan Black,

Satan Gold, Satan Red and Satan White.

They are loved by such a great deal of connoisseurs all over the world...

Brewery Verhaeghe Vichte is a family-owned brewery in the southwest

of the province of West Flanders, Belgium. The history of the brewery

dates back to 1885.

The Verhaeghe brewery feels itself confi rmed in its earlier choice: a little

less, but better. Not only in Belgium, but also far outside the Belgian

borders, the consumer prefers more and more beers of high quality

with a unique identity. The commercial success of the “Duchesse de

Bourgogne” beer, is the best proof: The Duchesse de Bourgogne is a red

brown of West Flanders, matured in oak casks and is brewed according

to an ancient method that is geographically linked with the southwest of

the province of West Flanders.

“Duchesse de Bourgogne” is an ale of mixed fermentation. It is a sweet-

fruity ale with a pleasant fresh aftertaste. This ale is brewed with roasted

malts and with hops with a low bitterness. After the main fermentation

and the lagering , the “Duchesse de Bourgogne” matures further for

many months in oak casks. The tannins in the oak give the “Duchesse

de Bourgogne” its fruity character. “Duchesse de Bourgogne” has a full,

sweet and fresh taste : it is a ruby red jewel of 6.2 % alc. vol., that best

is served in a chalice-shaped glass between 8 and 12°C. A perfect beer.

CEPANI, THE BELGIAN CENTRE FOR ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION

A dispute ? Think about arbitration.

You manage your company on a daily basis with all its strategic,

operational and commercial challenges. It is a tough task. A dispute can

arise at any time with your clients, suppliers or Partners. It is in your

interest that it can be treated quickly and efficiently.

Have you thought about arbitration?

Resolving a conflict through arbitration allows you to obtain a decision

very quickly when the situation is urgent. A final decision is rendered by

competent and experienced arbitrators. You can even choose arbitrators

who are specialised in the sector in which you are active or in the field of

the dispute in question.

The arbitrators are fully independent and decide in a neutral manner.

The cases can be treated in any language and in any country as chosen

by the parties. The confidentiality is guaranteed – your business secrets

and know how are protected.

The decisions rendered by the arbitrators have the same value as

decisions rendered by the courts. They actually resolve the disputes and

allow you to seize the assets of your debtor in more than 150 countries

in the world.

Arbitration offers an alternative with a high added value.

Cepani also offers services of mediation and conciliation, as well as

other alternative dispute resolution methods that always promote an

amicable settlement.

We commit to providing parties in dispute with the right legal and

administrative framework, to ensure a swift handling of the case.

Founded in 1969, CEPANI is the main centre for arbitration in Belgium.

FEDERAL HOLDING AND INVESTMENT COMPANY / SFPI-FPIM

The Federal Holding and Investment Company (SFPI-FPIM) centrally

manages the federal government’s shareholdings, cooperates with the

government on specifi c projects and pursues its own investment policy

in the interests of the Belgian economy.

The core business of the SFPI-FPIM, on the one hand as an investment

company and on the other hand as a holding company, is as follows:

• investing in companies with an attractive social value in one of the

priority sectors, which the SFPI-FPIM has set itself as an objective;

• acquiring equity in companies that are of strategic importance as far

as federal policy is concerned, either making use of their own funds or

by using funds that the State provides per project. In the latter case,

the SFPI-FPIM acts “on a delegated assignment”.

Sub-Alliance is a group of companies belonging to the Dedecker family.

In 1950, the first entity “Feronyl S.A.” was established in Mouscron.

Feronyl revolutionized the production of gears, changing metal parts by

silent components produced out of polymer injection.

In order to support its development and the need of tooling, the company

“Tecnolon Works S.A.” was created shortly after.

In 1968, the acquisition of Décolletage Dedecker (later “DPM S.A.”)

combined the metal cutting business with the injection molding

technology developed at Feronyl.

The addition of “Grimonprez Transmissions Gears S.A.” in 1996,

complemented the group with an extensive capability to produce gears

used in high power transmissions.

In 2012 the name Sub-Alliance was created as symbol regrouping the

4 companies [Feronyl, DPM, TW and GTG] implemented over 5 plants.

INJECTIS

Injectis BVBA is a new and dynamic company founded in 2017 to perform

groundwater remediation projects with the innovative Spin® technology.

Injectis BVBA is focusing on the execution of high quality direct injections

with all kinds of products for in-situ remediation. The spectrum of

injection products go from chemical oxidants, acids, bases, salts to all

types of carbon sources for the stimulation of biological degradation

like lactate, molasses, emulsified oils,... Injectis BVBA can operate

as the main remedial contractor or works on behalf of other certified

remediation companies as subcontractor. Injectis BVBA can deliver

the desired products, advise on the choice of the most suited product

for a certain situation or soil type or injects the products, delivered by

the client. Injectis BVBA looks together with the client for the most

appropriate and efficient injection plan. An objective evaluation is

made whether the innovative Spin®- injection technology can offer an

added value compared to the traditional direct push technology. In most

cases it is difficult to determine this in advance and an injection test is

proposed. Injection testing provides clarity on the injectability and soil

stratification, the injectability of the desired products in the soil type on

the site, the injection volumes and the radius of influence. Additionally, a

correct quotation for the full scale injections can be made based on the

results of an injection test.

Jean Pierre Gerard the project manager is a passionate animals and

birds lover, and taxidermist work has been part of his family for 5

generations now. Jean-Pierre Gerard has been making works of art for

over 40 years.

Indeed, we can speak of work of art because when we discover his work,

it’s like walking into an art gallery or even walking into a big theme park,

falling back again into childhood while admiring those majestic animals

that for the most we will never be able to get close to again, but there we

can at least pet them

We are currently working for 48 natural history museums around the

world.

The art of restoring lifelike appearance of dead animals through various

processes that have evolved since its birth in the seventeenth century.

Since then, the adepts of that art are called taxidermists or stuffers.

Egyptians were the fi rst to discover embalming and body preservation

techniques. However, it is at the birth of curiosity cabinets in the

seventeenth century that taxidermy developed and became popular.

Indeed, these processes were used to preserve dead animals of distant

territories in order to expose them in these curiosity cabinets in Europe

The Waterloo Memorial encompasses four major centers of interest.

The Memorial Museum offers visitors the chance to discover the

historical context and experience the Battle of Waterloo for themselves

by exploring a 2000m² interactive trail (including uniforms, historical

items, animated maps, a 3D panoramic screen, paper chase game,

multimedia animations and links to social media). The Lion’s Mound is

a monument 40 meters high (226 steps). It has a colossal lion at the

top that symbolizes the victory of the monarchies. The Panorama is a

vast, circular building housing a canvas painted in 1912 (110 meters in

circumference and 12 meters high). This exceptional work allows visitors

to plunge right into the midst of the battle. The Hougoumont Farm is a

historic farmhouse, the last authentic witness to the battle on 18 June

1815. It accommodates a pioneering multimedia installation that tells

the story of the “battle within the battle”.

New activities for every one! Every day in summer, from Thursdays to

Sundays from April to October: a soldier’s camp, cannon demonstrations,

a military school, horse-drawn carriages, the last cavalry charge…

Established for over 80 years, firstly at “Avenue Louise” and then on

“Rue de Namur”, Maison Roger is a veritable institution and standard of

excellence in Belgium. A prestigious enterprise, with a wealth of tradition

and quality behind it, created in 1937 by Mr. Roger Van Droogenbroeck,

in the chic Louise district, it quickly became one of the places of note in

Brussels for hair care and beauty.

Over the decades, Maison Roger has enlisted a talented team of artists

including a certain Claude Noterdame who, in the 1970s, took up the

reins. And together, they styled the hair of the young Princess Paola,

who had recently arrived from the south. lmmediately, Maison Roger

became very well known to the Royal family and to date, Queen Mathilde,

Princess Claire and Princess Astrid all frequent the salon along with the

royal families of Luxembourg, the Netherlands, France, Brazil without

forgetting, of course, the elite of Belgium from the worlds of culture,

aristocracy, politics and business.

After 40 years serving his exceptional clientèle Claude decided to

handover to Alain Tholl de L’.Enclos who acquired this wonderful

establishment His aim is to continue nurturing this institution into 21st

century modern living and to do this with a talented team, trained in the

spirit of its founder Roger. Sorne 80 years on this spirit manifests in the

modern realities but always remains the exceptional service, quality and

welcome. While Maison Roger has always been at the cutting edge and

available from a national perspective, today its aim is also to become

international through glamorous styling for a clientèle always on the

move.

NimbleOps NV is a young company founded by Frederik Taleman and

two investors (Olivier Coune and Frederic Bostyn) in 2017.

We are building and installing our software platform ‘HiveCPQ’.

Currently we are serving manufacturing companies like for example

Assa Abloy (Swedish multinational) and Reynaers Aluminium (Belgian

company).

Our goal is to connect manufacturers and their distributors and installers

network.

HiveCPQ is a B2B e-commerce platform that supports complex,

confi gurable products. Our platform is designed for manufacturers that

distribute their products worldwide through an installer or distributor

network.

An example is Nergeco Entrematic. Nergeco is part of the Assa Abloy

group, manufacturing industrial high speed doors in France. The doors

are installed through a worldwide installer network. Those installers

login on HiveCPQ and can confi gure Nergeco doors online. HiveCPQ

shows them a 3D visualisation of the product, their purchase price and

all required technical information.

The installers are able to print a quote that is ready to be sent to their

fi nal customers. When the order is placed by the fi nal customer, the

installer can easily order the product from the manufacturer through

HiveCPQ.

HiveCPQ is equiped with connector technologies so the order intake can

be linked to the manufacturers it systems. In this way we are able to

create a ‘seamless fl ow’.

Nutrients Recovery Systems - NURESYS - is a Belgian company foun-

ded in 2011 which supplies in particular controlled struvite crystalliza-

tion technology. It should be clearly mentioned that NuReSys is not a

fertilizer company with the sole and main purpose to recovery phospha-

te as a fertilizer.

Our approach is customer driven problem solving related to phosphate

problems. The fl exibility of the NuReSys process allows it to be adapted

in a number of combinations to resolve the customer’s critical phosphate

related issues.

Since the NuReSys technology can be applied both on digested sludge

or post dewatering a number of case specifi c approaches are possible.

Even combining applications on both digested sludge and post

dewatering have already been designed and are operational at full

industrial scale.

infectious, environmental, etc.) being important in the development of

chronic immune dysfunctions.

We identified 3 major groups of factors / dysfunctions:

• persistent and/or chronic infections, given that a majority of patients

with immune disorders describe an infectious onset of their disease.

• global immune dysfunctions

• intestinal dysfunctions

level.

RANGE OF PRODUCTS

Zingametall, a Belgium based company with +40 years-experience

in corrosion protection of steel, is specialized in the development,

manufacturing and distribution of cost-effective & durable total anti-

corrosion solutions, based on an unique fi lm galvanizing technology

called ZINGA.

ZINGA, a one component zinc rich coating, contains 96% atomized zinc

(powder) in its dry fi lm.

This high content of zinc allows a galvanic couple to be formed between

the steel substrate and ZINGA, which ensures an active galvanic

anticorrosion protection of the steel, comparable to hot-dip and

metallization.

But, in contrast to the latter, ZINGA can be easily applied - like a traditional

paint - using a brush, roller or paint pistol on a clean steel surface, in the

workshop or on-site. Our ZINGA based coating systems can be used as

a stand-alone system ( only ZINGA ) or as a duplex system with a colored

topcoat. All solutions comply to international standards such as ISO-

12944, NORSOK … and are used to refurbish previously hot-dipped or

painted structures or to protect new steel structures, for a wide variety

of projects such as bridges, pylons, wind turbines, infra-structure, silo’s,

tanks, pipelines …

Mons, the city of the Dragon and the town with the four UNESCO

masterpieces

European Capital of Culture in 2015, the town of Mons, with its 100.000

inhabitants or so, is a city which has significant assets in several

areas.Both welcoming and commercial town, Mons is an important

administrative, judicial and academic city. Right in the city centre, where

history has a long past, the town owns outstanding buildings such as

the Collegiate Church of St Waltrude, the Gothic style Town Hall, and a

baroque belfry of 87 metre high, one of a kind in Belgium, which is listed

as a UNESCO World Heritage site. But the city of Mons has also green

outskirts with leading sites such as the Neolithic Mines of Spiennes

(SILEX’S), recognised by UNESCO too. The third Mons masterpiece of

the World Heritage is the ritual Ducasse Doudou, whose origins belong

to a remote past of popular and religious customs, like the Procession of

the Car d’Or, dating back to the XIVth century, and the legendary Battle

known as “Lumeçon” that opposes Saint George and a dragon in front of

tens of thousands of spectators.

Self-guided tours of the historic centre, on the trail of the Dragon or on

Vincent van Gogh in Chinese are available on the mobile app IZI.TRAVEL

The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency (BFTA) operates at the service of the

three Regional authorities for export promotion: Flanders Investment &

Trade (FIT), Hub.Brussels, and the Wallonia Export-Investment Agency

(AWEX), as well as the Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs.

The activities of the BFTA were stipulated by the Cooperation Agreement

of May 24th 2002 between the Federal Government and the three

Regions. The Agency organizes two joint economic missions outside the

EU every year at the request of its institutional partners. Furthermore,

since 2015, the BFTA contributes on a biannual basis to the logistical

organisation of Belgian State Visits abroad.

The Agency also runs an information platform and sends out

international business opportunities, legal alerts and economic

newsfl ashes to companies on behalf of the Regions through the

mobile application Trade4U. Thanks to this tool, the BFTA also offers

the possibility to companies to order tenders’ specifi cations without

additional administrative fees. A centralized database listing up Belgian

exporters is also kept up to date on a regular basis.

Finally, the BFTA provides information on foreign markets: from studies

within the framework of economic missions to national and international

statistics and legal advice or information on regulations regarding

foreign trade.

GOVERNMENT OF THE BRUSSELS-CAPITAL REGION - CABINET OF THE STATE SECRETARY PASCAL SMET

Located in the heart of Europe, Brussels is Europe’s most international

and diverse city and has a high quality of life. It is a city of minorities

that is open to investment, cultural discovery and has retained the

edgy character of a real city. A city is made by its inhabitants but also

by its public space and buildings. In recent years, Pascal Smet has

been using the paradigm shift from a city for cars to a city for people.

Public space with a face. Now it comes down to giving ambition to the

new buildings so that they complement the rich patrimony. The private

and public sectors are working together with the residents on a new

Brussels identity: open-minded, cosmopolitan, progressive and with a

view towards the future.

a distance, but still at close range, we want to contribute to and provide

guidance for everything that will make our province stronger, better and

more attractive.

It is our intention, through our new (land-related) responsibilities, to

make West Flanders even more prosperous than it already is. Seize

opportunities, solve problems… We are very capable of doing this,

because as a province, we are in a position to have a global overview of

what is happening from the sidelines, but are at the same time very much

involved in the daily activities in our region. This is an opportunity for us

to ensure, more than before, that we can actively meet the needs and

aspirations of local residents, enterprises and visitors, in cooperation

with like-minded national and international partners.

We can translate our new responsibilities for West Flanders into the

terms Grow, Persist and Have Fun. Grow, because so many opportunities

have yet to be taken on our West-Flemish soil. Persist with the same

passion, because this is what bears fruit. And Have Fun, because West

Flanders is not only synonymous to hard work, but also to great fun.

In early 2019 a new website for the Belgian Economic Missions was

launched with the support of BOSA and a new mobile app has been

developed in collaboration with Belfius. Both have been created and

designed for participants and followers of the Belgian Economic

Missions whose experience will be enhanced.

The website provides the participants with all the information related to

the mission ranging from the detailed programme, contact details of all

the participating companies, publications, video interviews and pictures

taken during the mission.

The app is an extra tool providing the same information as the website.

Thanks to the expertise of Belfius, the new app is more suitable and

facilitates communication between the participants.

During the mission, the website and app will be permanently updated

in the latest news section. The app sends out notification alerts about

changes in the programme, picture galleries and publications, so please

make sure to download the app in the App Store or Google Play.

ECONOMIC PROFILE OF BELGIUM, THE HEART OF EUROPE


Belgium is a Federal Kingdom comprised of three Regions (the

Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region)

and three Communities (the Flemish, the French and the German

Communities).

Belgium has a population of 11.4 million inhabitants (2018 est.) and

is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. Brussels is

called the ‘Capital of Europe’ because it is host to the headquarters of

the European Commission, the Council of Ministers and the European

Parliament. Other major international organizations, such as NATO,

are also located in Belgium’s capital. Brussels ranks as the world’s

number three city in the world (after London and Washington, D.C.) in

terms of the number of accredited journalists and fourth in terms of

the number of international meetings and seminars held.

With a surface area of 30,500 km2, Belgium is one of the smallest

member states of the European Union. Nevertheless, it is a significant

player in the world economy. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) reached

€439.2 billion in 2017 and €450.5 billion in 2018. After increasing by

1.7% in 2017, the GDP growth rate recorded a rise of 1.4% a year later.

Belgium also still remains a high income country, with a GDP per capi-

ta of €35,300 in 2018 (Source: Eurostat).

Belgium is a trading nation, and the country’s success lies in its fa-

vorable geographic location, effective logistics and transport networ-

ks, strength in R&D and innovation, and export-oriented industries.

Among the most successful exporters are the chemical, food & drinks,

biotech, automotive, pharmaceutical, aerospace and plastics sectors.

According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Belgium was the

11th exporter and 14th importer of goods worldwide in 2018 with a

share of 2.4% and 2.3% respectively. Belgium’s own goods market is

characterized by high levels of competition and an environment that

facilitates new business creation. Business operations are also distin-

guished by high levels of sophistication and professional management.

In 2018, Belgium also ranked as the 13th exporter and 12th importer of

services worldwide with a share of 2.1% and 2.3% respectively.

ECONOMIC PROFILE OF BELGIUM, THE HEART OF EUROPE


Belgium is indeed your ideal partner because of its strategic

location in the heart of Europe, its flourishing economy with

stable growth and the unwavering confidence of consumers

and investors.

The Logistics Performance Index of the World Bank, which is published

every two years, put Belgium in 3rd place in its 2018 ranking. The LPI

score indicates the ease and efficiency of logistics chains all over the

world. A well-functioning logistics system is essential to the economic

welfare and growth of a country. Belgium’s podium position was main-

ly due to an excellent performance related to timeliness and interna-

tional transport (first place) and competence (second place). The only

countries that did better than Belgium were Germany and Sweden.
