Support & Services

We support designers from Wallonia and Brussels in their international development.

Advice

Obtain help with prospecting advice concerning access to support, financial support for exporting (strategic planning, legal & expert advice, websites, prototyping, etc.), and opportunities abroad (competitions, partnerships, etc.)

Promotion

We organize actions to help you promote your knowledge on an international level:

• Seminars and training sessions,
• Collective presentations at international shows,
• Invitations to foreign decision makers (editors & buyers) in Belgium.

--> Send your contact details and a presentation of your work to info@wbdm.be. We will then send you application details and invitations to participate in our promotional events.

Other Support Mechanisms

Other organizations can help you protect your designs, prepare the launch of your company project, find commercial partners, etc.

The "Guide du Designer indépendant," published by Maison du Design (House of Design), can be a valid support for designers trying to set up their own project by discussing primary areas of concern. Read more.
