number of companies
The activities of the 38 companies involved can be classified by sector. There are
different internationally recognized systems of sector classification (amongst other the
Global Industry Classification Standard) which is close to (but not precisely the same) the
classification used in the FINEXPO application form.
The 38 companies are active in an array of sectors, as shown in the following table based
on the FINEXPO classification:

Total number of companies 38
This classification is based on the FINEXPO classification and on the services provided by
the companies. A classification based on the sector of intervention will be build up during
the next stages for the analysis of the projects.
Evaluation among Belgian companies
For an evaluation of the FINEXPO instrument, research among the Belgian companies is a
fundamental component in order to assess the appropriateness of the instrument to one
of its main objectives: the promotion of international trade and exports. In theory, one
could image different layers in such a research:
• a survey among all internationally trading and exporting companies of Belgium in
order to assess the appropriateness of the FINEXPO instrument to its potential
users;
• a survey among all Belgian companies that have ever applied for any kind of
FINEXPO support;
