NAMUR, pioneer in environmental management

Capital of the Walloon Region since 1986, Namur is investing in sustainable planning and architecture with a human face. It is natural therefore that businesses with an environmental vocation should choose to base themselves there, as they benefit from prioritisation in terms of aid for innovation deployed by the Province.

A hotbed of SMEs and VSEs, the Namur economy is primarily active in the service sector and is synonymous with creativity, dynamism and stability. The construction sector, including renovation, is the number 1 employer in the region, which has some 7,000 highly qualified workers.

technical information Your partners on Ecolys for Green Building

As manager of the ECOLYS park, the BEP has surrounded itself with top-level partners from partners the Green Building and Sustainable Development professions. Key among these are the Green Building Cluster, Cap 2020 and Bois et Habitat.

Together, they are developing a tailored concept, launching a programme of training, conferences and services aimed at investors and players in the green field, and guaranteeing the overall coherence of the park in terms of sustainable development.
