Dear all,
Seminar on ‘Brussels - Gateway of Investments to Europe’
24th August, 2016 at 4.30 p.m. at Federation House, Hyderabad
Brussels continues to hold its position as a favourite destination
for many foreign companies accessing the EU markets. A strategic location with
clear logistics, cultural and economic advantages, Brussels continues to be the
investment gateway. Britain’s proposed exit from the EU membership (BREXIT) has
created flurry of diverse thoughts among the investor community, who considered
London/UK for EU market access for trade and investment. In the wake of events,
which is shaping the socio-economic- political future of EU as a strategic
market bloc, Brussels plays a significant role.
So now to access the EU market, probably no other city in Europe rivals
Brussels for its strategic location at the nexus of economic and political
decision-making in Europe, not to mention its location at the heart of a
European market of 100s of million consumers. Brussels is a truly an
international city, situated at the crossroads of Anglo-Saxon, Latin and
Germanic cultures. The location, infrastructure and human capital is making
Brussels unique and thus portraying it as an attractive business hub.
World Investment Report, 2012 by UNCTAD has ranked Belgium in the 2nd
Position in terms of FDI attractiveness. Brussels Invest & Export
(BIE) is a part of the Ministry of Brussels Capital Region, Belgium,
responsible for inward investments to Brussels and helping Brussels’ companies
successfully finding overseas markets. SAS Partners is a multi-disciplinary
advisory organization, closely associated with BIE in India for helping Indian
