Creating an innovative start-up

Launching a start-up in Wallonia is particularly easy thanks to the multiplication of support and financing structures designed to guide young entrepreneurs. Pre-activity grant, business incubator, innovation grant, technological cheques, quality subsidy, employment subsidy, and more, are all measures that will help entrepreneurs in their start-up ("start" aids and subsidies") and development ("acceleration" aids and subsidies) procedures.

Growth accelerator funding

It can often be a real challenge for budding entrepreneurs to find these resources. In Wallonia, they have their own special dedicated tool: WING. This fund, created in the frame of the Digital Wallonia plan, aims to invest in innovative digital start-ups offering true development prospects on the market and a strong potential for growth. It benefits from a budget of €50 million.
