Our mission

• PMV gives leverage to projects that are important for the future of Flanders.
• PMV does so as an entrepreneur and as a facilitator.
• PMV functions as thé instrument for economic government policy.
• PMV strives for economic growth and attaches great importance to the social return of its initiatives.
• PMV creates added value for the money that Flanders invests in its future.

 

PMV stimulates

PMV stimulates investment projects that strengthen the structure of the Flemish economy and fit within the Flemish government’s economic policy.

 

PMV creates, structures and manages

PMV creates, structures and manages co-operation with private partners according to economic principles when markets fail and when the Flemish government welcomes participation of the private sector in a specific domain.

 

PMV is result-driven

Together with other stakeholders and private equity companies, PMV is a result-driven market player thanks to its own core competences and a tailored business model with a specific competitive edge.

 

PMV creates

PMV creates added value and dividends. It creates room for the continuity and growth of a company.

 

PMV means business

When the market needs support or searches for leverage to realise economically interesting projects, PMV may step in as an entrepreneur. PMV will do so when:

• the government can and will fulfil and active role within the market;
• there is an obvious advantage in co-operating between private and public parties;
• private initiatives don’t take off while some economic concern requires a structural solution;
• there is a reasonable balance between social and financial returns.

 

PMV facilitates

Faced with attractive financial returns, PMV may act as a facilitator. PMV will do so when:

• private financiers fear to cross the threshold because they consider certain projects to be too risky;

• it involves innovative projects with high risk but an equally high return potential;

• in different fases of new economic developments.

 

Structure

Ever since PMV gained autonomy in 2001 the company has grown into a mature organisation with a varied range of instruments and activities. PMV organised those within one, well-structured organisation.

 

The board of directors is the major organ for strategic decisions, control and supervision. It delegated daily management to a management committee responsible for execution and reporting.

On behalf of the board the ladies Christine Claus (chairperson), Gwendolyn Rutten and Rosette S’Jegers make up the audit committee.

The selection and remuneration committee is made up of Dirk Van Melkebeke (chairman), Guido Steenkiste and Clair Ysebaert. The general manager attends its meetings on behalf of the management committee.

The treasury committee advises on and controls the company’s short term investment policy. It is chaired by the general manager, Marcel Van Handenhoven. Its members are Rik Branson, Luc Van de Walle and Annemie Roppe.
