BELUXCHAM/VIETNAM ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS 2011

On 18 February 2011, Belgian & Luxembourg business and entrepreneurs gathered at the Sheraton Hotel to celebrate business excellence at the Belgian/Vietnam Achievement Awards. The ceremony took place in the presence of the former Belgian Ambassador, Mr. Hubert Cooreman, the Belgian Honorary Consul in Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Dominique Casier, a delegation from VKW Limburg headed by Professor Herman Daems together with representatives from more than 40 companies and the board members of Beluxcham. The awards were organised by the Belgium–Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam and attracted big interest from the media.

The awards were judged across three special categories of achievement: company, individual and academic. Grand-Place Group, a pioneer in chocolate production in Vietnam, were given the award for Best Company; Ms. An Bellemans, Vice President Marketing of Personal Care and Media of Unilever Vietnam, won the title of Best Senior Manager; and  Mr. Serge Bywalski, Coordinator of the Solvay Brussels School’s programs in Vietnam stood out to receive the award for Academic Sector Organisation. The award ceremony was followed by a networking dinner with the VKW Limburg group from Belgium, who are keen on exploring new business opportunities in Vietnam.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Hubert Cooreman expressed his pride in the considerable achievements of Belgian/Luxembourg businesses in Vietnam during the past few years.

To continue this success, The Belgian/Vietnam Achievement Awards 2012 is coming soon in March 2012 to honour outstanding and successful Belgian/Luxembourg enterprises and leaders, and to encourage the creation and development of new Belgian/Luxembourg business in Vietnam
