According to Graydon, there were even more company start-ups in the first half of 2021 than in the same period in 2019, i.e. in the year before the corona crisis. Most of the new companies were set up in Flanders and Wallonia. In the Brussels capital region, fewer new companies were founded.
According to Danny Van Assche, CEO of the Unizo SME Association for Flanders and Brussels, many company founders apparently waited for the right time last year or waited for the further development of the coronavirus before officially registering their company: “And yet it remains It is remarkable that so many people jumped into the deep end, even though the corona crisis was still in full swing. After all, we haven’t been climbing out of this valley that long. “
A total of 60,111 new companies were founded in the first 6 months of the year. In Flanders the number increased by 27.71% compared to the same period last year and by 27.09% in Wallonia. In the Brussels capital region, only 15.11% new companies were added during this period, as reported by Graydon and Unizo.
