The right infrastructure
Flanders lies at the center of the EU’s wealthiest and most populated area – and Flanders has the highly developed transport and communications systems required for companies to take full advantage of this fact.
Efficient transport
Flanders offers companies rapid and efficient supply and distribution links with other major European centers and beyond.
-
Leading ports – Antwerp, Ghent, Ostend, Zeebrugge
-
Airport freight & logistics hubs – Brussels & Ostend
-
Extensive inland waterway system – linking into the European system
-
High density of freeways - connecting directly to other European countries
-
High-density rail network – dedicated freight lines to other parts of Europe
Connectivity
Flanders is a hi-tech region that provides the level and reliability of communications and connectivity required in today’s global business environment. Brussels is among Europe’s leading Internet hubs and 96% of companies based in Belgium are Internet-connected.
"For us this is the ideal base for distributing product via land, ocean and air. We are close to the Port of Antwerp and the Brussels Airport and have access to excellent road links to the European hinterland."
Chris Van Dam, director, International Distribution Center at Sentipharm AG (2007)
