As the economic climate in the US is currently positive, Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT), the Flemish public service promoting export and foreign investments, is organising a Belgian economic mission to the country, led by Princess Astrid. Minister-President of Flanders Jan Jambon will also be present on this mission.

This group business trip will take place from 2 to 9 October 2021 and will focus on the technology hotspots on the American east coast: Atlanta, Boston and New York. All companies and organisations with a branch office in the Flemish region can register for this trip, but the focus of the programme is on the digital tech, climate tech and health tech & life sciences sectors.
