WALLONIA, BELGIUM Crossroads of Europe & Open to the World

Wallonia covers an area of 16,844 km2 and has 3,293,352 inhabitants. It consists of the 5 French-speaking provinces of Hainaut, Namur, Liège, Luxembourg and Walloon Brabant. Europe's major motorways run through Wallonia, a region which also includes a Fast speed rail network (connecting it directly to the great North Sea ports and to Europe's main industrial regions), and two expanding airports, Brussels South Charleroi Airport and Liège-Bierset. Wallonia is also criss-crossed by major waterways: the Sambre, the Meuse (linked to the Rhine and the Schelde) and the Brussels-Charleroi canal. Walloon Brabant benefits from the pulling power of the capital of Europe and therefore attracts investors, particularly in the field of new technologies. The University of Louvain la-Neuve, which enjoys an outstanding international reputation, is also a magnet in the field of high-level applied research. The province of Luxembourg is mainly oriented towards tourism, agriculture and the wood industry, but advanced industries are present here too, in the agri-foodstuffs sector. The provinces of Hainaut and Liège are the two traditional industrial zones of Wallonia. Both had substantial coal reserves and were thus major players in the first industrial revolution. Today, both Hainaut and Liège are in complete process of thorough economic renewal. Hainaut has a great many skilled workers, and follows a policy of welcoming new international companies setting up business here. The aircraft construction sector is in full development. Liège is located in the centre of one of the busiest industrial zones in the world, the Rhine basin, and is recognized for the quality of its production in precision industries and of its manpower in leading edge sectors, such as the aerospace industry. Namur is home to the region's political institutions. Wallonia is also an important agricultural centre. Without compromising the quality of the region's traditional production, new fodder technologies have been developed here in the field of agri-foodstuffs. Through animal selection, a new breed of cattle was reared, the famous Blanc Bleu Belge. The reputation of Wallonia researchers, laboratories and agricultural facilities extends beyond the nation's borders. The same can be said for the quality of agricultural products, which are closely related to the excellent Belgian culinary tradition.
