A stable economy and the euro ...
Companies in Flanders have been able to flourish and grow in a pro-business environment with a stable economy and currency. Belgium was also one of the first 12 European Union countries to join the European Single Currency, or euro

Decision-making center
The capital of Flanders is Brussels - capital of Belgium and headquarters to the European Union and NATO, as well as a large number of other international organizations. In addition to the wide range of companies - large and small, local and foreign - located in Flanders, there are a considerable number of corporate headquarters operations based in the region itself and in Brussels.

A Platform of Opportunity
Flanders offers businesses a stable, market-driven economy and all the advantages of a Euro currency nation. Its location at the heart of Europe’s core economy combined with its highly developed transport and communications infrastructure provide the right platform for businesses looking to develop or expand opportunities in the wider European market.

In addition, Flanders offers:
A business-minded government that continues to introduce measures aimed at easing the way for enterprise
One of the world’s most productive workforces and one of the few European workforces that out-performs the US in productivity
One of Europe’s most multilingual workforces and communities
A business environment in which 96% of Belgian companies are Internet-connected compared with the European Union average of 89%
After centuries at the crossroads of European trade and culture, the Flemish people have gained a reputation for the cross-border flexibility and understanding that today’s business world demands. Today’s global nature of cities such as Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent combined with the large number of foreign companies in Flanders, has added to the international business culture in the region.
