There is an equal size of data on Belgian enterprises available. with the same objective to enrich wikidata with enterprise data I recently proposed the following property: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/NACE_code
However, after some talks with others in the Wikidata community, I recently have some second thoughts on whether or not a full dump of these type of datasets are valuable enrichments of Wikidata. Adding 2 million items with additional statement per item would be quite an enlargement of Wikidata. If we would bot add all business of both Belgium and Germany, we would have 4 million of new items, which currently would count for 10% of all of Wikidata. I am not sure what this would mean in term scalability and if it would cause any scalability issues. Maybe a use-case driven approach here would be more appropriate. We could think of a bot that would source both the trade registers of the different countries when a specific use case would vouch for the inclusion of trade data.
