FIT subsidies

Doing INTERNATIONAL business FROM FLANDERS

Is your company ready to go abroad? Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) subsidises a couple of initiatives that promote international entrepreneurship from Flanders:

  • The establishment of a prospecting office outside the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Important is the Flemish anchoring (staff increase, turnover increase, ...) and not yet or limited sales in the target country,
  • Prospecting trip outside the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - same as the points of interest above,
  • Participation in a foreign fair or niche event,
  • Development and translation of digital international commercial business communication. An international customised project.
