3. The Pavillon of Industries Culturelles and Créatives (ICC) in Wallonia and Brussels 

A showcase for the Walloon and Brussels CCI ecosystem: for CCI companies who don’t
have a tangible project to test and manipulate, the KIKK is offering to join (on selection) the
Booth, which is a showcase for Walloon and Brussels CCI expertise. Located alongside
other country booths in the festival’s Creative Village, the aim of this booth is to promote
talented Walloon and Brussels companies looking to go international, to bring together the
profiles of these international booths and to act as a springboard to internationalisation for
these companies.
