Each year, Voka selects the regional Ambassadors based on a financial analysis and other information about the company’s business model. Voka then assigns a score to each company. The highest-scoring companies are given a chance to make a brief presentation to the Voka jury. This jury (and the audience) then elects the Ambassador based on the high scores and the strength of the presentation. Magnetrol was the elected Ambassador for the Dendermonde region and will compete against other regional Ambassadors in a further competition for the East of Flanders Ambassador on November 24.
