Following the genesis of the industrial revolution in the UK, industrialisation quickly spread to the continent, with Belgium the first to thrive due to its excellent transport links with other European countries. Belgium rapidly built its wealth by importing cheap raw materials processing them and re-exporting its profitable finished goods.
Today, Belgium hosts many multi-national companies including metal fabricators, financial services and food producers. Brussels is now one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, home to the EU and NATO, as well as a diverse range of international trade and finance companies.
Take your group on a boat tour of Antwerp port to investigate the efficiency of the harbour and container terminal. Visit Coca-Cola to uncover the intriguing workings of a successful global multinational. Get behind the scenes at Audi to watch the production of the A1, and discover the glittering secrets of a ‘girl’s best friend’ at Antwerp Diamond Museum. Of course, no visit to Belgium would be complete without chocolate and your business students can enjoy a tour of the modern manufacturing processes of the Duval Chocolaterie or even try their hand at making their own chocolate products.
