A vast Belgian economic mission presided over by HRH Princess Astrid, as representative of His Majesty King Philippe, will head for Texas from 3 to 11 December 2016.
240 business representatives, together with the press and the official delegation will visit the cities of Austin, Houston, San Antonio and College Station.
No less than five ministers will accompany the princess on her mission:
The mission to Texas builds on a long tradition of Belgian trade missions to the US, and the historical relations between our country and the American state of Texas. The very first Belgian trade mission thus departed for the US in 1960, led by the then Prince Albert. Since then, the US has been an integral part of the agenda of Belgian economic missions. The last trade mission to the US dates from June 2013 (California).
Texas is the largest exporter to Belgium of all US states ($ 4.6 billion in 2015). Belgium is the 10th export destination for Texas, and the second in Europe after the Netherlands. Chemicals represent 58 % of the exports, petroleum and coal products 8%, and computer and electronic equipment 6 %. The remaining 17% concern various finished products. Belgium was the 25th import destination for Texas in 2015. In 2014 Texas imported for $ 1.6 billion from BE and thus had a trade surplus of about $ 3 billion towards Belgium, a continuation of the trend of recent years.
