Fevia is the federation of the Belgian food sector, an organisation that defends the interests of more than 4,000 companies from 25 business sectors. These range from breweries, chocolatiers and dairy companies to potato growers and jam makers. Now you know why the word “delicious” is in the title. More importantly, Fevia has been a loyal partner of OVO from the very beginning.
‘This collaboration with OVO dates back to the very foundation of Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs,’ says Matchmaking-volunteer Rony Inslegers, who, together with Frans Dieryck, maintains OVO's contacts with Fevia. "Lotus Bakeries, a member of Fevia and known worldwide for its speculoos, was one of the founders of OVO and is still a core member. The Fevia board of directors decided at the time that part of their membership fees should be spent on development projects. This is done through their VIA fund. If a member of Fevia wishes to support one of the NGO projects in OVO's portfolio, the VIA fund increases that contribution by an amount that can be up to 80% of the initial donation.
