Most engaged member companies

AmCham Belgium’s strength as an organization depends on the engagement of its members. Already a tradition at the Chamber, the AmChampion Awards recognize the member companies within our community that have been most engaged over the past year. As our community is diverse, we name several AmChampions every year to recognize the different ways in which members can engage with and contribute to the Chamber.
