Antwerp stands for innovation

This friendly (and fashionable) place is home to highly innovative businesses, more than 180 nationalities and a thriving cultural scene. Today, the city is stepping up its game with digital innovation, circularity and creativity forming the pillars on which its future economy is built.
No wonder that this international metropolis is home to Europe’s second largest port and the continent’s number one integrated chemical cluster.
