In their own words
“Voka is het Vlaams netwerk van ondernemingen. Het vertegenwoordigt meer dan 18.000 bedrijven in Vlaanderen en Brussel, goed voor 65% van de private werkgelegenheid en 66% van de toegevoegde waarde in Vlaanderen. Voka ontstond in januari 2004, toen het Vlaams Economisch Verbond en de acht regionale Kamers van Koophandel in Vlaanderen besloten om in een alliantie intensief samen te werken.”

“Sinds 2008 werkt Voka nauw samen met 29 sectororganisaties, wat het werkgeverslandschap nog verder versterkt. Voka heeft drie grote taken: netwerk, belangenbehartiging en dienstverlening aan bedrijven.”
