Billiard balls and playing cards. Belgium is world leader in both.

Edit: forgot to add pigeons. Belgian competition pigeons are the most expensive in the world.

Edit 2: Belfries. Clock-O-Matic is a Belgian company and world leader in the automation of Belfries. It's not that hard because most Belfries are located in Belgium and France, if not all of them.

Recycling. In Sweden we recycle so much that we have to buy trash from other countries!

In Denmark our district heating is so great that we have to import trash to burn at our Combined Heat and Power plants. Bit ironic given that we're also a market leader on windmills that are supposed to replace plants.

Denmark: Hygge, apparently. But a lot of writers are working hard to make money off of getting a lot of people to know about it.

Poland: Blik.

Some would probably also say Paczkomaty and Żabka, but neither automatic parcel lockers nor breaking labour laws are strictly Polish inventions, so I wouldn't count them
