Invest in Belgium - Leading investment destination

Leading investment destination

Belgium has a clearly international outlook due to its geographical location, multicultural population and history. For centuries, it has been a crossroads and trading hub, retaining the best of Latin, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon cultures. The people of Belgium enjoy a fine reputation for their high level of productivity, loyalty, openness and multilingual skills.

Belgium is a federal state consisting of three regions: Brussels , Flanders and Wallonia . Each region has a great deal of autonomy, making Belgium one of the most modern states in the world. The regions' powers and responsibilities include trade, the economy, employment, industry, agriculture and the environment. They each pursue a dynamic economic policy geared to their own requirements and provide free professional, confidential support to help you make your business plans a success.

Clear attraction

These policies are bearing fruit. Foreign Direct Investment magazine (a Financial Times publication) recently ranked Flanders and Wallonia among the top 5 most attractive regions in Europe. Among large cities, Brussels ranked in the top 10 for infrastructure , quality of life and human resources . This combined regional performance makes Belgium one of the most attractive countries in Europe, offering an environment rich in opportunities, stable economic growth and a strong currency (Belgium was one of the first European countries to commit to the euro).
