About us

Who
are we ?

1890 is the regional gateway to information and guidance for (future) Walloon entrepreneurs.

  • We inform them about a multitude of aspects linked to the exercise of their activity and the needs they may encounter (support, finance, subsidies, hiring, partnerships, general information, etc.).

  • We direct them to the right contact among the many public organisations and private players active in entrepreneurship.

The 1890 is a service of Wallonie Entreprendre (WE), the Walloon economic and financial instrument at the service of companies.

Who is the 1890  
aimed at ?

The 1890 is aimed at Walloon entrepreneurs and project leaders, regardless of their status or the stage of their project.

  • The self-employed, the manager or company director who wishes to develop

  • The job seeker, the student or the employee who launches his project

  • The business owner or business buyer who is changing his or her horizon

The 1890 helps all those who are starting and developing a business or those who wish to do so.

How to benefit from  
the 1890 service ?

The 1890 is accessible, free of charge, via 2 channels :

  • The 1890.be website offers a wide range of information (solutions, news, events and organisations) that can be accessed at any time via a guide, an repertory of organisations and a search engine. The contact page also allows the entrepreneur to ask questions directly in writing.
  • The 1890 call number is managed by a team of 1890 advisers. They identify the entrepreneurs’ needs, formulate a personalised response to their questions and inform them about the organisations that can help, as well as drawing their attention to any aspects that may be complementary to their initial request.
