Belgium, officially known as the Kingdom of Belgium, is a fascinating country in Northwestern Europe that’s famous for much more than just its diamond industry, delectable chocolates, and mouthwatering waffles. Nestled between the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, and Luxembourg to the southeast, this small nation packs a big punch.

Belgium’s economic prowess extends far beyond its well-known culinary delights. The country is home to some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and boasts thriving industries in food and beverages, chemicals, and rubber and plastics. Its strategic location at the heart of the European Union has earned it the nickname “the center of Europe,” making it a major tourist destination and a hub for international business.

What truly sets Belgium apart is its significant role on the global stage. The country hosts the headquarters of NATO, the EU Commission, and the European Parliament. Brussels, often referred to as the EU’s capital, is a testament to Belgium’s international influence. This environment has fostered a community of entrepreneurs who know how to build companies with worldwide impact.
