This partnership is a statement of continued support for Flemish companies in their growth
Brussels – ING Belgium has renewed its exclusive partnership with Voka, the largest network of entrepreneurs in Flanders, for another three years. It’s a powerful signal in economically challenging times that we support current and future entrepreneurs in their growth and realising their projects.
With entrepreneurship part of its DNA, ING has been stimulating new businesses for more than a century and a half. For many years now, Voka and ING have worked together in a strong, complementary partnership with the mission of powering Flemish entrepreneurship, and putting its businesspeople on the national and international map.
Saskia Bauters, Head of Business Banking at ING Belgium: ‘Renewing our partnership with Voka is a clear statement that we continue to support companies in their growth and make their business models future-proof. We thank Voka for its confidence in us and look forward to strengthening each other in our efforts to serve entrepreneurial Flanders and the broader Belgian economy in which we continue to invest with great conviction.’
Frank Beckx, CEO Voka: ‘Voka and ING share the same objective: to offer Flemish companies every opportunity for growth. Our society will only be able to move forward thanks to economic growth created by successful companies. The partnership with ING means that Voka can make the voice of entrepreneurial Flanders resonate even more powerfully.’
