Some towns have businesses that other towns unfortunately don’t. So, in every town or city there’s a store missing that people desperately need.

That’s why KBC bank went searching for The Gap in the Market in every single town and city in the country.

On thegapinthemarket.be we asked everyone in the country to fill in the type of business they were missing in their town or city.

That way future business owners could see which kind of businesses were needed in which towns and cities.

- No less than 171.157 gaps in the market were reported.(on a total of 6 million people).

- On average 560 reports for every town or city.

- Almost 1500 fresh new business ideas were generated as a direct result of

this campaign.

- The lack of missing businesses became a national issue.

- It was put on the political agenda.
