Belgium has a high standard of living, health care, social security, and education. For example, Belgium has a solid system of financial child support.

Where to begin? First of all: the Belgian beer culture is inscribed on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Next to that, we Belgians are ‘sweet tooths’, loving our delicious Brussels or Liège waffles and of course our Belgian chocolate, probably the best in the world.

And don’t get us started on French fries, which are 100% Belgian. Every town in Belgium has its own friterie, frituur or frietkot.

One thing is for sure: you won’t regret your ‘taste of Belgium’!

Belgium is very accessible thanks to our central location in Europe. And because of our small size, all Belgian cities are nearby.

Belgium has a dense public transport network with trains, buses, and the subway. Besides that, we often provide you with a lease bike when moving to Belgium.

Should you work or live with low access to public transport, we will provide suitable transportation for you.

We help a lot of both small and big companies in their search of talent. Some examples are Brewery Martens, Milcobel, Smart Packaging Solutions, Flanders Food Production, P&V Panels, Volvo Lacom Garages, Aertssen, B.R.T. and Maselis.

Our national holiday is the 21^st of July. That day, we celebrate that the first king of Belgium, Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, took the constitutional oath as king in 1821.

The capital of Belgium is Brussels, located in the heart of the country.

Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy, meaning it has a monarch as ceremonial head of state, King Philippe the first, and multiple governments: the Federal Government, the Flemish Government, the Government of the French Community, the Walloon Government, the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region, and the Government of the German-speaking Community. Don’t worry: we Belgian people aren’t quite on board either.
