Clusters in Wallonia

Wallonia has six certified business clusters. Their shared objectives are defined by the government through the Marshall Plan 2.Vert. They share information on a regular basis, which allows them to follow a coherent course of action. Projects involving more than one cluster are assessed at consultation meetings with a view to identifying the lead cluster and the most suitable mode of cooperation for the project.
