Software Development & Web Design in Ghent
Website laten maken, software and app development for Ghent's university, biotech, port and creative businesses, in Dutch and English, delivered remotely from Bucharest.
Ghent, home to about 273,000 people, combines Ghent University, a growing biotech cluster and the North Sea Port, which links the city to the sea by canal. A historic centre of guilds and festivals gives the city a strong tourism and creative trade.
What a business in Ghent has to get right
Ghent is Dutch-speaking, with a large student population used to digital services. Belgian business sites need the company details and VAT number shown on the site, and cookie consent handled under the Data Protection Authority (APD/GBA) rules. B2B e-invoicing through Peppol has been mandatory between Belgian VAT-registered businesses since 1 January 2026.
