Japanese companies play a major role in the Belgian economy
Published
The economic ties between Belgium and Japan are stronger than ever. It all began in 1866, when both countries signed an official treaty for the first time. Now, 160 years later, Japan's influence on the Belgian market has become very significant.
Recent research shows that there are currently 301 companies in Belgium that have a Japanese owner. These companies are spread across the entire country and are active in various sectors. This does not only concern small offices, but often large organizations that make an important contribution to our economy.
The impact of these Japanese investments is clearly visible in the labor market. In total, these 301 companies provide more than 40,000 jobs in Belgium. This makes Japan one of the most important foreign partners for Belgian employment.
The cooperation between the two countries has only grown over the years. While history began with diplomatic agreements, it is today an essential part of the Belgian business landscape. The future will show how this strong economic relationship will continue to develop.
