Government Relations Forum

The Government Relations Forum (GRF) facilitates regular dialogue between Belgium-based international companies and policymakers at all levels, helping to communicate priorities of the business community and improve the investment climate. It offers public affairs professionals from our member companies a direct channel to discuss key issues with policymakers and other stakeholders. 

Goals

  • Enable its members to make strong personal and direct connections with key policymakers.
  • Leverage strong federal and regional political contacts.
  • Promote and communicate business recommendations.
  • Provide political strategy and tactics for AmCham Belgium.
  • Identify areas of interest for the business community.
  • Be a recognized, visible and valuable source of information.


The strength of AmCham Belgium, and the Government Relations Forum in particular, lies in its strong networking opportunities with external stakeholders. AmCham is seen as a credible partner, representing the voice of US companies in Belgium.
