In order to be able to set up your company and/or expand into Flanders, finding a suitable housing for your business in the right location in Flanders is crucial.  Our dedicated VLAIO invest team can help you in this search and draw up a list of possibilities that tie in with your specifications.  We can even organize a site visit to take you on a field trip to visit the locations of your preference.

Business centers and incubators in Flanders

Flanders has dozens of business centers and incubators, spread over its 5 provinces. These centers are excellent locations to start and grow your company, and they offer several kinds of facilities for rent: business offices, semi-industrial units or storage rooms. Some of these business centers also provide specific support services, such as a general reception, telephone services, a secretariat, meeting room facilities, etc. Others only offer rooms for rent. 

In comparison to the conventional real estate market (with rigid contracts), these centers are characterized by their flexibility: you can rent for a short period, end the tenancy on short notice or easily move to a larger or smaller unit if necessary.

Some of these centers – the so-called Innovation & Incubation Centers – are intended only for companies specialized in innovation & research.

To facilitate your search, VLAIO has foreseen a business center and incubator map which is available via the geographic information website Geopunt. By clicking on a bullet point in the map, you can find the contact details of that business center or incubator. As there is an abundance of business center, co-working spaces, and incubators in Flanders, our dedicated VLAIO invest team gladly helps you to identify the business centers and incubators that best suit your needs and can check availability for you.

Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship manages a geographic information system, designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage and present all types of geographically referenced data. More specifically, Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship manages an updated geographic inventory of industrial sites available for industrial and/or logistic investment projects.

Apart from this, we maintain a close relationship with municipalities, project developers, investment companies and real estate agencies offering business real estate (land, projects and buildings), enabling us to propose to you a list of tailor-made suitable locations (land, office space, industrial and logistic buildings).
