Belgium. Health and Biotech Valley.

Belgium is a global leader in biotech and biopharma R&D innovation, clinical trials, and cutting edge biomanufacturing platforms. 

Belgium’s unique Health and Biotech Valley has driven € 5.7 billion in investment to date, is home to 43,000 direct jobs, and is the result of Government support in collaboration with business and academia.

The Health and Biotech Valley would not be possible without Belgium’s culture of openness. 

That’s why we like to say that Belgium is open for Business.
