About Wallonia

Wallonia, the southern Region of Belgium, is in the immediate vicinity of Brussels and Western Europe’s major cities. The area is home to the main offices of the largest international institutions and the headquarters of many multinationals.

The region has a worldwide reputation for its capacity to innovate and for the quality of its research, often rewarded by scientific Nobel Prizes (Jules Bordet, Albert Claude and Christian de Duve). Strengthened by a rich fabric of diverse industries, Wallonia is very favorably positioned at the very heart of the larger European market for industries and services. It is to be noted that the space industry in Belgium is well positioned in Europe.

Wallonia has developed an extended, highly performing educational network of colleges, universities and graduate schools. Businesses benefit from a quality workforce: productivity is 20 % higher than the European average… Wallonia is a welcoming and successful region that has taken its future in its own hands and is opening its arms to you.

A quality area open to the world, where the authorities promote creativity and initiative; a welcoming land of culture and traditions. In case one wishes to settle in the region, fiscal and financial incentives amongst others are at your disposal. These advantages are fairly unknown to most.
