High Income
 

Based on the income levels set out by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in its Global Competitiveness Report. However, the groupings are slightly different due to the numbers of economies covered.

High income is the same for both GEM and WEF.

  • No less than 11% of Belgian respondents want to start a new business within the next 3 years. However, a considerable gap remains between dream and reality, mainly due to fear of failure and a lack of self-confidence. It is also striking that people who start a new business effectively tend to do so based on necessity rather than opportunity compared to benchmark countries. Start-ups have rather low ambitions in terms of job creation and innovation. Nevertheless, the international mindset in Flanders is among the highest in Europe.
