About Leuven
Leuven is world-famous for its 15th Century Gothic town hall. The city is first mentioned in relation to the Battle of Leuven, in the late 9th century, when a Viking army was defeated by Arnulf of Carinthia. It soon became a significant trading and manufacturing centre, famed for its quality linens.
Commercial activity continued to grow and by the Middle Ages Leuven had become an administrative centre under the rule of The Counts of Leuven.
Today the University, KU Leuven, founded in 1425, is one of the world’s leading universities. Since 2016, KU Leuven has headed the Reuters list of Europe’s most innovative universities, and ranks seventh in world rankings. KU Leuven is also a member of the EOSC Association.
Leuven is an internationally oriented city and region, lying at the crossroads of health, high tech and creativity. It is a perfect breeding ground for companies, entrepreneurs, investors and talent. In 2020, the iCapital of Europe jury unanimously chose Leuven as European Innovation Capital.
