Belgium

Belgium is a thriving, modern country, home to multinational, national and supranational government organisations and businesses from around the world.

Belgium's geographical position at the heart of Europe has enabled its development into a centre for trade and politics, and is home to many EU institutions. The diversity of culture in Belgium is reflected in our offering and connectivity with Belgium's close neighbours.
