On 10 May, Flanders’ Minister-President Geert Bourgeois opened a new office of Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) at Workland business centre in Vilnius, Lithuania. The representation will operate in the entire Baltic region and cover not only Lithuania but Latvia and Estonia as well. The region’s strategic position is of paramount importance in opening an office abroad at this precise location, as Flanders and Lithuania have been cooperating for 20 years.

„By opening a Flanders Investment & Trade office in Vilnius for the Baltic states, Flanders sends out a clear message on the growing importance of the region for the Flemish economy. As a result of their strategic position at the Baltic Sea, the various seaports play an important role for the Flemish ports. Moreover, the region presents itself as an economic gateway to other countries in North East Europe.“

Geert Bourgeois, Minister-President of Flanders

Member insights. Stop assuming, start aligning: the missing link between marketing and sales by Mari-Liis Vaher

If you run a business or lead a team, this may sound familiar. Marketing is active. Sales is busy. There are meetings, campaigns, follow-ups — a lot of movement. And yet results feel harder to predict than they should. Often, the problem isn’t effort or competence. It’s quieter than that.
