Pharma and biotech companies enjoy a prominent place in Wallonia. Indeed, products from the chemical and the biomanufacturing industries are by far our leading export sector, with more than 31% of the Walloon total. Furthermore, Wallonia's CDMOs provide state-of-the-art facilities for the production and scaling of biotech products. Top-notch healthcare infrastructure, renowned research centers, and supportive regulations, positions Wallonia as a preferred destination for cutting-edge clinical research. We should rightfully be proud of this, but we mustn't rest on our laurels. This is why the Wallonia Export-Investment Agency will continue to attach primary importance to the potential of growth of the biotech and biomanufacturing industry.
