Patrick De Molder

I am an International Business Advisor at VLAIO, Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a member of Enterprise Europe Network Flanders.

For Business Meetings @SIAL Paris 2026, I act as a liaison between international buyers and Belgian food companies. I help buyers identify potentially relevant Belgian products and producers based on their sourcing interests.

Through Enterprise Europe Network and my wider business support network, I can:

• identify Belgian companies matching specific product requirements;

• connect buyers with relevant producers and export-ready SMEs;

• encourage suitable companies to register for the matchmaking event;

• facilitate targeted introductions and B2B meeting requests;

• support follow-up before and after the event.

I do not represent a specific producer or product portfolio. My role is to facilitate neutral, targeted connections between buyers and Belgian companies with a potential commercial fit.

Within Enterprise Europe Network, I am also a member of the Agri-Food Sector Group, a network of around 100 food and agrifood specialists across Europe. If a buyer’s sourcing request extends beyond Belgium, I can connect the buyer with the appropriate EEN colleagues, who may help identify relevant producers and facilitate introductions in their respective countries.

Buyers looking for specific food products, private-label partners, innovative concepts or specialised producers are welcome to contact me.
