William and John Cockerill are the two English men that brought the Industrial Revolution to Belgium by designing and producing machines for the new industrial manufacturing of textiles.

Belgium, therefore, became the first country in continental Europe to experience economic transformation. The Belgian Industrial Revolution was on textiles, iron, and coal.
