Reasons to invest

West Flanders is a suitable location for companies of foreign origin. Foreign investors often choose West Flanders as an ideal gate  towards the European market. The central location in the midst of leading European consumer markets such as London, Paris, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Randstad Holland and Brussels isn’t the sole reason for obtaining such a position.

The high education level and the work ethic of the well-trained, multilingual and productive employees in West Flanders, as well as the favourable SME‑entrepreneurial climate are also highly appreciated by foreign companies.
