About Belgium: The Gateway to Europe
Located at the heart of Western Europe, Belgium is one of the six founding States of the European Union. This position as the ‘crossroads of Europe’ undoubtedly comprises one of the essential keys for characterizing its economy. The Belgian economy is among the most open, export-oriented economies in the world and relies heavily on unrestricted, free and mutual beneficial trade. Its small size and limited internal market are the main factors behind the strong export culture in Belgium. Moreover, due to its well-developed infrastructure, good living standards, central location and highly-skilled workforce, Belgium is also praised by foreign investors.
