The coaching grants offered by WBDM are designed to support up to 15 designers by providing personalized expertise and sound advice.
They are aimed at designers and/or design companies seeking advice on (re)structuring and/or (re)defining their international strategy.
In 2025, up to 15 grants of up to €4,000 will be offered to a selection of designers / design studios / design companies based in Wallonia or Brussels. These grants provide personalized support from a professional coach, enabling designers to build or perfect their international development and visibility strategy. The companies selected thus contribute to the international influence of Belgian design.
What kind of coaching?
The aim of these grants is to act as a springboard for designers to revise and/or implement their international development strategy.
These missions help to structure and guide the internationalization process, maximizing the chances of success and ensuring optimum visibility in target markets.
Armed with expert advice, designers will be able to draw up a solid international development strategy, strengthen their position on the global design scene, and seize new opportunities in diversified markets.
These grants offer a valuable springboard for the growth and international recognition of creative talent.
