From A to Z, from the wildest brainstorming to the biggest achievements: in our issues throughout 2023, we’ve shown you the inner workings of our region’s companies, explored what goes into smart creation and practical innovation, showcased projects from various trade fairs, and shown the value of what we produce to the world. We have built relationships and broadcast that very value, in a spirit of both pride and humility.

As the year has just begins, it seems obvious to me that we should be talking about passing on the knowledge and know-how that our companies nurture and that allow for new talent to emerge. That’s the angle we want to take here. We want to talk about incubators and talent pools, partnerships with universities, and a different, elevated kind of teaching, where our creators and researchers feel supported and valued. This relationship of trust also makes it possible to welcome aboard other companies that are eager to join this journey too.

That’s what Wallonia is all about, after all: a land of talent, fertile ground for new start-ups, a stable base for larger companies, and a touch of wonder for those of us who are taking on the challenges of tomorrow. Their shared ambition? To offer all of us a better future.

Let's unleash a little spark of madness, in the most innovative sense of the word.
