Why Antwerp?

Antwerp is a cosmopolitan city with a small footprint in the heart of Europe. It’s located right on the crossroads where northern and southern cultures meet, which makes the city the ideal testing ground for new products, designs or retail concepts. Compared to other European cities, living and working in Antwerp is still cheap. Here, you will find all the tools for success, right at your doorstep. Networks, infrastructure, competences and support organisations are available at a metropolitan scale, but with the easy access of a compact town. In short; Antwerp is a city big enough to matter, small enough to care.
