Mark Vaeck

CEO ActoGeniX

"Led by the ‘VIB' (Flemish institute for biotechnology) the Ghent-Zwijnaarde region has grown to become ‘the place to be' for biotechnology. Additionally, the strong presence of higher-educated personnel in the area acts as a magnet: many biotech start-up companies choose to establish themselves in Ghent."

A rich potential client market

Thanks to its strategic position, Ghent offers businesses a rich potential client market. Other large cities such as Brussels and Antwerp, as well as neighboring countries France and The Netherlands, are only about an hour's drive from Ghent.

Population

The city of Ghent has a population of 235,000, which has grown by 4% in the last 8 years. The increase in the number of college and university students, as well as school children (currently totaling more than 100,000), makes Ghent an even more attractive place to invest in.
