His Royal Highness Prince PHILIPPE of Belgium
04
HRH Prince Philippe was born on 15 April 1960 in Brussels, Belgium, as first child of HM King Albert II and HM Queen Paola. He is first in the line of succession to the throne of Belgium and, as such, he bears the title of Duke of Brabant.
On December 4, 1999, the Prince married Miss Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz.
Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde have 4 children: Elisabeth (2001), Gabriel (2003), Emmanuel (2005) and Eléonore (2008).
At the end of secondary school, which he attended both in French and in Dutch, the Prince continued his education at the Royal Military Academy from which he graduated in 1981. He then subsequently qualified as fighter pilot (1982) and as a paratrooper- and commando officer before assuming command over a paratrooper platoon. He now holds the rank of Major-General in the Armed Forces (2001).
Prince Philippe completed his academic training at Trinity College, University of Oxford (UK) and at the Graduate School of Stanford University (USA) where he took a “Master of Arts Degree” in political science in 1985.
The Prince holds an Honorary Doctorate of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (conferred in 2002).
As a result of the increasing number of commitments, the “Household of Prince Philippe” was created in 1992.
On August 6, 1993, by Government decision, Prince Philippe was appointed Honorary Chairman of the Belgian Foreign Trade Board (BFTB). He succeeded to his father, who had been Honorary Chairman of the BFTB since 1962. In this capacity, Prince Philippe has headed more than forty important economic missions, of which the most recent are India, Japan and Brazil (2005), South Africa, the Federation of Russia, Canada and Bulgaria & Romania (2006), China and Bahrain & Qatar (2007), USA & Canada, Egypt, Argentina & Uruguay and Indonesia &
Singapore (2008) and Mexico & Panama (2009).
On May 3, 2003, Prince Philippe was appointed Honorary Chairman of the Board of the Foreign Trade Agency, replacing the BFTB.
On June 21, 1994 he became a member of the Senate.
In addition to his various official duties, Prince Philippe concentrates on gaining more in-depth knowledge of his country, its role and its image in the world and in international relations.
The Prince is keenly interested in the situation of young people and their integration in the society of tomorrow. He therefore visits schools and universities, but also follows closely various social issues such as unemployment and the struggle against poverty and exclusion.
In May 1997, Prince Philippe was appointed Honorary Chairman of the Belgian Federal Council for Sustainable Development, created after the Conference of Rio.
In 1998 the Prince Philippe Fund was created, with the aim of fostering exchanges between citizens or organisations from all three Communities of our country.
In 2003, Prince Philippe became Honorary Chairman of BIO (Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries).
Since 2004, Prince Philippe is also Honorary Chairman of the European Chapter of the Club of Rome and of the International Polar Foundation.
In May 2004, Prince Philippe obtained his licence as a civilian helicopter pilot. He spends his rare leisure moments at home with his family and also likes to read, especially on subjects related to the problems and challenges confronting men and women in today’s society. He practises sports regularly and is keen to maintain a healthy physical condition.

IP Trade develops a telephone designed for the specific needs of traders and brokers. This type of equipment is often referred to as Dealerboard or Turret in the industry.The IP Trade turret is controlled by the trader through a touchscreen as long as an ergonomic and customizable GUI (graphical user interface). Unlike it’s the product of its competitors, the IP Trade turrets connect directly to the enterprise IP-PBX (Cisco, Avaya, Alcatel and Broadsoft). This results in greater efficiency, easier administration, better user experience and more attractive TCO (total cost of ownership).IP Trade serves customers in most of Europe and USA financial places (New York, London, Chicago, Frankfurt, Luxembourg and Paris). The Asia-Pacific market represents a tremendous growth opportunity for us. We are launching our activities in Seoul, Hong Kong and Singapore in partnership with Datacraft, one of Asia’s largest voice, video and data systems integrator.

Belgium is a federal Kingdom, with three Regions (the Flemish region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region) and three communities (the Flemish, the French and the German Community).
Belgium has a population of 10,6 million inhabitants (2008) and is one of the most densely populated states in Europe. Brussels is the capital of Europe, with the headquarters of the European Commission, the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. Other major international organisations, such as NATO, are also located in Brussels. As a result, Brussels is the number two city in the world (after Washington) in terms of number of accredited journalists, and fourth in terms of the number of international meetings and seminars.
With a surface of 30.500 km2, Belgium is one of the smallest member states of the European Union. Nevertheless, it is a significant player in the world economy. GDP reached 432 billion US $ in 2007, making Belgium the 18th economy in the world. Belgium is a high income country, with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of 40.710 US $ in 2007 (World Bank data).
According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Belgium was, in 2007, the 9th exporter of merchandise goods and the 13th exporter of commercial services. In 2007, Belgium’s share in world merchandise exports was 3,1% and 2,2% in commercial services, while its share in world imports was respectively 2,9% and 2,2%. Belgium is the world leader in terms of export per capita.
According to the UNCTAD World Investment Report 2008, Belgium was the 11th recipient of FDI (foreign direct investment flows) in the world in 2007 with 41 billion US $. The continued presence in Belgium of TNC (coordination centres), as well as the new tax incentives that entered into force in January 2006 (notional interest deduction) play an important role. Belgium’s FDI outflows amounted to 50 billion US $ in 2007, making the country the 14th largest source of FDI outflows worldwide.
