Our internalization services

We offer you a complementary support service to Awex to accelerate the success of your international projects.

First of all, we carry out a precise analysis of your needs and expectations (export diagnosis) and then guide you towards the most appropriate partner or solution:

  • Networking with qualified players (in business, research, diplomacy, etc.) in several European countries and major export markets
  • Organization of workshops on certain target countries, thematic missions and events on the fringes of major international trade fairs
  • Tailored advice from experts in agri-food innovation

Move forward collectively on the international stage

We put you in touch with other members of the cluster in order to consider a collective approach on a given market: market research, international actions and missions, etc.

To this end, we created the BHIG, Belgian Health Ingredients Group or BHIG in 2012. The BHIG brings together 8 companies active in the field of nutrition and health.

Wagralim provides you with guidance and support in European projects

Are you looking for funding for your research and investment projects?
Wagralim will guide and support you in setting up strategic technological cooperation arrangements with European partners by responding to calls from the European Commission.
The guidance and support are geared mainly to the Horizon 2020, IMI, Eurostars, and structural funds programmes.

The guidance and support consist of:

  • Monitoring calls for projects and awareness raising
