Walloon Trade mission to Mexico, Columbia, Brasil This mission was a follow-up to the economic and princely mission to Colombia and Peru in October 2014. It was indeed important to extend the contacts initiated during this princely mission. Thus, more than 20% of the Walloon participants in the mission to Mexico and Colombia in June 2015 had participated in the princely mission to Colombia and Peru in October 2014. The mission program prepared by the AWEX, and the ADN for the digital side, was dense and varied. . It had twenty-three activities in Mexico City and Bogota including: six meetings with local ministers; two health seminars; two meetings in the digital sector; two company visits in broadcasting; the participation of two Walloon companies in a high-level conference organized by the Bogota Chamber of Commerce; the contract signing ceremony for Walloon companies. These activities took place around the following four themes: 1. health; 2. broadcasting; 3. economic promotion; 4. digital. Alongside this official program, more than three hundred business meetings were organized by AWEx for our companies. The results obtained during this mission and the support provided to our companies and universities have contributed to strengthening economic relations between Mexico and Colombia, on the one hand, and Wallonia, on the other.

Carmelo is very focused to his activities and real a expert on the subject of IOT and their application in different field. His activities also in the standardization field in different group was also very impressive demonstrate his capability to work in team and drive a group to arrive at a result considering the final goal.

His adeptness in presenting technical subjects and understanding stakeholder needs makes him an indispensable addition to any team or organization
I am delighted to recommend Carmelo for any roles requiring expertise networking technologies. Throughout our interactions, in which we were internationaly promoting IPv6 transition, he consistently demonstrated a deep mastery of these domains. One of Carmelo's standout qualities is his ability to present technical subjects with clarity and precision, particularly in conference settings. Moreover, Carmelo possesses a remarkable capability to swiftly understand the needs of both private and public stakeholders and translate them into actionable technical requirements. Put differently, Carmelo is a highly skilled professional with a proven track record in mastering digital technologies.

I highly recommend Carmelo. I had the privilege of working with him in ETSI IoT Standardization group SmartM2M. Carmelo is an exceptional professional with a passion for excellence and a drive for success. He has deep technical expertise in IT, Telecom, IoT, etc … But not only. I was consistently impressed by his unwavering commitment to the standardization work and his ability to bring a high level of enthusiasm to the group. I would be more than happy to work again with him, so I wholeheartedly recommend Carmelo and am confident that he will be a valuable addition to any organization lucky enough to have him on board
While Carmelo was working at the AWT around 2010-2012, he was keen to spot the next set of challenges: how to move the industry beyond IPv4 (the old generation Internet that was about to face an address shortage) and helped a lot the penetration of IPv6 in Belgium (esp the French-speaking region): this is when I met him while I was the CTO then co-chair of the Belgium IPv6 Council. Carmelo impressed me: he quickly understood the issue and the remedies, was very vocal and efficient at his power level (e.g., he moved all of its organization to IPv6 even if he did not work for IT == a lot of justifications, energy, technical knowledge, and persuasion power).
I've interacted multiple times with Carmelo Zaccone. Carmelo is both extremely curious and knowledgeable. He knows a wide range of technologies and can easily adapt to new ones. While working for ADN, he helped the government and many companies to make the right technological choice. He excels in driving standardisation work to reach a consensus and document new protocols and technologies. Given his curiosity and strong communication and personal skills, he would excel at bringing new solutions to the market by interacting with all stakeholders within an organisation (from developers, marketing, finance up to CEO) and externally (customers and competitors).
Carmelo is THE expert in IP technology, wireless networking and standardization. His ability to jump between architecture thinking and practical software engineering considerations, while keeping business objectives in mind, is second to none. An expertise he developed through his impressive career where he’s been successively Founder of multiple start-ups, CTO for tech/engineering companies, technical lead for government agencies and lead on multiple software standardization efforts. All of this blended with a contagious enthusiasm, passion and desire to help. Carmelo has helped me in multiple projects and I value his perspective and expertise very highly. Would recommend Carmelo to anyone looking for a strategic thinker and technical expert in wireless networking and software architecture.
