The awards ceremony for the 15th Wallonia Export Awards took place on 9 November 2016. This event, organised by the Wallonia Export-Investment Agency, brought together over 300 people at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Charleroi.
The Wallonia Export Award is designed to recognise recent, but confirmed efforts and successes by Walloon companies that have succeeded in breaking into foreign markets with Walloon goods and/or services, giving these companies a reputation that can, at the same time, help to improve the brand image of Walloon industrial and cultural products, expertise and services overseas.
