While it already stood out due to its position as the Capital of Europe and its strategic location at the crossroads of major transport arteries, Brussels has been able to reinvent itself to strengthen and develop assets that make a difference in investors' and companies' choices today. Because today, Brussels is one of the world’s leading Smart Cities, which are becoming increasingly intelligent in order to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
