Help & services

Our local contacts

AWEX’s regional centres (RCs) support you at every stage of your international development.

Missions of the regional centres

The regional centre is your entry point to AWEX. It guides you through the structuring of your export project and carries out a diagnostic of your internationalisation readiness. It will direct you to the right partners in Belgium and abroad and support you at every stage of your international development.

FAQ

Is it free to become a client of Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX)?

Do I need to be a Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX) client to contact my RC?

Do the regional centres also work with start-ups and small businesses?

Yes.

The Regional Centres support start-ups, micro-enterprises, SMEs and large companies, provided that the company:

is registered with the CBE,
has its main place of business in Wallonia,
is pursuing an international expansion project that generates added value for the Walloon economy.
Access to services and their scope depend in particular on the Maturity
Assessment for international expansion, which makes it possible to adjust
