Belgian Foreign Trade Agency

The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency (BFTA) operates at the service of the three Regional authorities for export promotion: Flanders Investment & Trade, hub.brussels and Wallonia Export Investment Agency, as well as at the service of the Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs. Its activities are defined by the Cooperation Agreement of May 24th 2002 between the Federal Authorities and the Regions. The Agency organises Belgian economic missions at the request of its partners and contributes since 2015, to the logistical organisation and the economic aspects of Belgian State Visits abroad. The BFTA sends out international business opportunities to companies on behalf of the Regions through the mobile application Trade4U. The database listing up Belgian exporters is regularly updated thanks to exchanges with the Regions. The BFTA publishes economic and sectoral publications as national and international statistics and gives legal advice on foreign trade.
