Are you looking for a new business in the largest economic
market of the world? Are you interested in moving to the
European capital region? In these pages, you will find
many answers to the questions you might have.
Brussels, capital of the European Union
Flanders' capital is the very same as the EU's capital,
Brussels. Apart from its central location, it is home to the
European Union policy makers, NATO and many other
international organizations. As a result, Brussels hosts a
wide range of companies and organizations, including
world leading life sciences companies but also media HQ
such as the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times.

The most globalized region of the world
Flanders is the northern state of the country Belgium,
recently quoted as being the most globalized country of
the world. Flanders is synonym for "International", being
the gateway to Europe. With its ultra-modern network of
highways and railroads, a booming Brussels Airport and
huge sea ports such as Antwerp and Zeebrugge, Flanders
has given true meaning to the word "hub".
"Hub" in many ways
With 6 universities, 4 strategic research centers, several
competence centers and a massive amount of R&D centers
of high-tech industries, Flanders is not only a logistics hub,
but equally so a true "Smart Hub". Its strengths lie in
bringing assets together, rendering them a unique
advantage in the world's globalized scene: smart logistics,
nano-bio-technology, functional foods, smart textiles, etc.
