馃嚙馃嚜 Flanders50 companiesUpdated Nov 11, 2026

This selection of companies in Flanders consists mainly of higher education institutions and research organizations. They range from long-established universities such as KU Leuven, founded in 1425, and Ghent University, founded in 1817, to newer applied sciences universities like Thomas More University of Applied Sciences and VIVES University of Applied Sciences. The list also includes specialized entities such as imec, which innovates in nano- and digital technology, and UZ Gent, a specialized healthcare provider.

A notable pattern is the concentration of these institutions in key Flemish cities. Ghent hosts Ghent University, Arteveldehogeschool, and HOGENT. Antwerp is home to the University of Antwerp, AP Hogeschool Antwerpen, and Karel de Grote-Hogeschool. Leuven features KU Leuven and imec. These organizations collectively represent a significant portion of the region's education and research infrastructure.

How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
