TWIST
The TWIST (Walloon Technologies for Image, Sound and Text) Cluster is a structure financed by the Walloon Region. The property of this industry is to join technology to creativity. Productions result essentially from collaboration between several enterprises. That is why TWIST enables professionals to meet in our region and out of the country. We work on different fields like cinema, animation, 3D stereoscopy, but also, content management, broadcast, etc.
