Agency Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship - VLAIO for short - is the point of contact of the Flemish Government for all entrepreneurs in Flanders.

Our mission is to

• Promote entrepreneurship : we work together with partners who can help guide SMEs from (pre)start through growth to acquisition. 
• Support cluster operation : we also encourage companies to cooperate more intensively with other companies and knowledge institutions in a group-based setting, such as in clusters, innovative business networks and living labs. 
• Create stimulating environmental factors : we facilitate the development of business parks and appropriate business accommodation for entrepreneurs. 
• Encourage internationalisation of business activities
