DEME was honored to welcome His Majesty King Philippe of the Belgians at the DEME Environnement headquarters in Farciennes during his two-day interregional economic visit to Wallonia and Flanders. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Organized by the Flemish business federation VOKA and the Walloon trade federation AKT, the visit brings 40 business leaders together from across the country and aimed to strengthen economic cooperation between both regions.<\/p>\n

As part of the Walloon program, DEME Environnement proudly showcased its expertise. Founded in 1990 as \u00c9coterres, DEME Environnement employs more than 90 people and operates recycling centers in Belgium and northern France, supporting sustainable land use and regional economic development through innovative public\u2011private partnerships. The company is a reference player in soil remediation, environmental dredging, sediment treatment, and the reconversion of brownfields. DEME Environnement processes around 500,000 tons of contaminated soil and sediment annually and remains the last dredging company in Wallonia with its own dredging equipment.<\/p>\n

Luc Vandenbulcke, CEO of DEME, commented: \u201cThe visit of His Majesty the King to DEME Environnement is a meaningful acknowledgment of our company\u2019s long\u2011standing commitment to environmental remediation and sustainable redevelopment. It also highlights how innovation, technical expertise, and interregional cooperation can translate environmental challenges into lasting economic and societal value.\u201d <\/p>\n

The royal visit highlighted the importance of interregional collaboration in a challenging international context and underlined how complementary strengths between Wallonia and Flanders can drive innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth. <\/p>\n
