Around 1,500 to 2,000 new jobs will be created directly as a result of the economic activity within and around Blue Gate Antwerp. Job positions will become available for highly-skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. The logistics area will mainly require semi-skilled and unskilled workers, whereas the research & development centres will primarily require highly-skilled workers with a university or college degree. The production businesses may have job positions available for both skilled and unskilled workers, depending on their main business activity.
In addition, Blue Gate Antwerp wants to contribute as much as possible to the creation of jobs in the social economy sector, by providing groundskeeping and maintenance positions at the site, for instance.
