East Flanders has the ambition to be an ideal location for businesses. To realise this ambition, space to do business is necessary. That is why POM develops space for businesses and actively promotes cooperation between businesses on business parks. Helping to develop business parks, which are crucial for a healthy economy, creates space for companies to grow, invest and stay economically healthy. The focus here is on East Flanders' leading role in the logistics sector and in the knowledge economy.

Because East Flanders has everything to further strengthen its position as a top logistics region, thanks to its strategic location, the presence of two seaports and multimodal transport connections. In addition, the cooperation between universities, research centres and the business world ensures that East Flanders plays a leading role in cutting-edge sectors such as ICT, biotechnology and new materials. This leading role in the logistics sector and in the knowledge economy helps POM to expand further.

Business cooperation also addresses challenges that transcend the individual business. This is done through business park management (BTM). POM's ambition is to transform the business parks in East Flanders into robust ecosystems by 2050. All projects seek a healthy match between economic activity, energy, materials, water, space and mobility. And if several companies want to realise a sustainable, local cooperation project together, POM's Emma Leclercq Fund can be a financial lever.

Based on its East Flanders ambitions and its executive role, POM is an enthusiastic participant in Smart Delta Resources.
