POSITIV 2/2021 45
We help, support and stimulate companies in the fi eld
of international entrepreneurship. Flanders Investment
& Trade offers tailored counseling and guidance. The
company can reach out to our contact network in
Flanders, where we have provincial offi ces, and also
abroad. With more than ninety branches we are surely
located in your neighbourhood, wherever you are. Our
services are confi dential and free of charge.
Flanders has many advantages for ambitious Flemish
businesses, small and medium businesses and also for
involved international companies.
The Flemish region is an ideal gateway for Flemish
businesses. We are trying to lower the threshold for them
as well as for international entrepreneurship. We promote
our services, provide information and knowledge on
export, provide fi nancial support, offer opportunities to
connect with other entrepreneurs and facilitate contacts
with potential partners abroad by organizing regular
events and business missions to support the Flemish
export.
Flanders is an attractive pole for international companies:
thanks to its central position in Europe, highly developed
infrastructure, innovation clusters and many other
advantages. We try to get them international publicity.
We approach potential tailored investors and convince
them about opportunities for their companies in Flanders,
providing information about a wide range of fi nancial
incentives. Apart from that, we also focus on the current
investors in Flanders who plan to extend their business.
The innovation clusters have key importance for Flanders
as a knowledge region. We help these clusters in their
internationalization process and we try to attract foreign
investors who are able to strengthen the cluster so that it
becomes an eminent international player.
To promote the technological side of Flanders even more,
we opened ten new Science & Technology offi ces this
year which focus on digital technologies, healthcare and/
or climate technologies in several innovative hotspots
around the world.
I have a clear message for Czech companies: whether
you want to buy goods or services from Flanders or you
plan to invest here, if you have any questions regarding
international trade with Flanders, Flanders Investment &
Trade is your reliable partner.
