Wallonia and Monaco: Two Similar Lands

Wallonia and Monaco: Two Similar Lands

Hello everyone.

As I mentioned a few days ago, my participation as an exhibitor in Monaco also gives me the opportunity to fulfil my role as Ambassador. In this capacity, I have drawn up a non-exhaustive list of the similarities between Wallonia and Monaco.

Both lands share a rich history, as well as a wealth of talent, ideas and excellence in fields such as new technologies, space, medicine and ocean conservation, to name but a few. Both offer favourable conditions for investors. I use the term “land” because Monaco is a sovereign state headed by a reigning Prince, whereas Wallonia is a region comprising the southern part of Belgium, roughly half of the country.

Here is where to go for information on investment opportunities, support for setting up a business, and importing or exporting. Here are the relevant contacts:
