On February 25th 2009, Flanders opened a unique portal in New York. From now on, the 44th floor of the New York Times Building in New York will be your gateway to Flanders and the United States. At this location, three services will join forces:
- Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT) provides information and support regarding bilateral trade, investment, and economic activity between Flanders and the northeast of the US. They offer a thorough knowledge of the American market and its economic and labor legislation, and support American investments in Flanders.
- Tourism Flanders-Brussels promotes Flanders as a sustainable and high-qu
ality tourist and convention destination. - Flanders House is set up as a Not-For-Profit in accordance with American law. Together with FIT and Tourism Flanders-Brussels, it will be the point of reference for all Flemish actors, active in New York and the US, in a wide array of activities. You can find information on Flemish cultural activities in New York and the US, on educational and scientific exchange, on Flanders and on all the competences of its government. Flanders House is a one-stop shop for all Flemish and American partners that do not belong to the target audience of FIT and Tourism Flanders-Brussels.
