Frequently asked questions
Which is the largest employer in Food and beverage service activities in Wallonia?
Among companies, Centre hospitalier universitaire de Tivoli - Institut médical des Mutualités socialistes, with 1,588 full-time equivalents reported (financial year 2025).
Are all the jobs located in the area?
