Editor's Notes
- We can pinpoint seven main arguments why Flanders is an ideal region to invest in.
- In a recent benchmark executed in the Financial Times Benchmark database our region has clearly positioned itself as second most attractive region when compared to our neighbouring regions abroad
- Flanders is a prime business region. It is strategically located right in the center of the most prosperous part of Europe. In addition, its capital Brussels is home to the European decision-making centers. Two crucial factors for your company when making an investment decision in Europe.
- Like mentioned already, Flanders is in the heart of Europe’s purchasing power. Over 60% of the European purchasing power is situated within a tight 500 kilometer radius around Flanders. This means customers can be reached and served in the fastest of times. Flanders is relatively close to large industrial and consumer centers, such as the region around Paris, the Ruhr area and the Benelux. “The central location of Flanders is a key performance indicator for the competitiveness of a region. We are in the middle of the European market for our products.” Wouter De Geest, Managing Director, BASF Antwerp Close proximity to the European institutions Brussels is home to the NATO and European Union headquarters. No wonder a large number of international governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as corporate representative offices and treasury operations are based there. They like to keep abreast of European policymaking and the effect this has on their activities. EDC: In spite of a surface area of a mere 13,522 km2, Flanders offers an impressive portfolio of more than 800 EDCs. This is equivalent to 6 EDCs for every 100 km2, which is the highest such density in all of Europe.

Its highways are directly linked to those of France, Germany and the Netherlands, as well as those of Great Britain via the ferry links or the Channel Tunnel. Logistics companies and distribution centers can transport goods from Flanders to most major European markets within 24 hours by road. Railroads The world’s second densest rail network: 1,700 kilometers of railroad tracks, covering a geographic area of 13,700 km2. Transportation output by rail: 5.4 billion person-kilometers and ca. 4 billion freight tonne-kilometers. Inland waterways One of the densest river and canal networks in the whole world. Navigable waterways extend over 1375 kilometers, 1076 kilometers of which are used for commercial navigation purposes. 80 % of all companies in Flanders are located less than 10 kilometers from a navigable waterway.
