Agoria FLAG

Agoria-FLAG, the Flemish Aerospace Group, brings together companies active in the aerospace market in Belgium. It is part of Agoria, a community of technology companies in Belgium. Its aim is to support the development of aerospace and related technologies and to raise the visibility of Flemish aerospace around the world.

Agoria speaks for its members at political, economic and social policy levels. It has positions for Brussels, Europe, the federal level, Flanders and Wallonia.

Members can use a range of expert services. These cover HR, legal and social dialogue, including national and international employment, safety and health. They also cover digitisation, workforce topics such as attracting, developing and keeping talent, the green transition, and legal, tax and finance compliance. Other areas are Industry 4.0, technical regulations and standardisation, and the economic situation and prices.

For market development, Agoria offers business development support and industry clusters, where companies join forces as a sector and take positions. One cluster covers aerospace, safety, security, cybersecurity and defence. Members can also help shape standards and guidelines. The TECH BELGIUM ecosystems give access to leaders, knowledge and opportunities in seven strategic markets. They are automotive, big science, building and infrastructure, energy, food and beverage, government and public, and sports and entertainment.

Agoria shares data and analysis. This includes indices for materials and energy, reference wage costs, forecasts on consumer prices, inflation and wage indexation, economic outlooks and key figures about the technology industry. A library of more than 1,000 documents holds templates, manuals, whitepapers, position papers, presentations and tools for analysis and calculation.

Training comes through learning networks, information sessions and an academy. Members' employees can also use a platform with employee benefits and reduced prices from well-known brands.

Agoria works on four domains of action. These are care for people, contributing to a better society, protecting the environment and the planet, and creating sustainable added value. It also offers office, meeting room and event space for rent in Antwerp, Brussels and Liège.
