The Brussels-Capital Region operates under an AI Strategy 2024-2029 led by the FARI Institute, which provides guidelines for AI use and implementation in public services. Paradigm.brussels, the regional digital transformation agency, integrates AI into public administration. Unlike Flanders and Wallonia, Brussels does not have a dedicated large-scale AI action plan but pursues AI through multiple targeted initiatives.
Digitalcity.brussels, part of the Brussels Next Tech plan, improves ICT training availability. Training providers include MolenGeek, BeCode (with an AI programme), and Numeria, offering digital and AI courses for the workforce and job seekers. The region promotes STEM disciplines through dedicated student engagement programmes.
Who it affects: Brussels public sector workers encountering AI in government services; job seekers accessing digital training through Digitalcity.brussels partners.
What is notably missing: No dedicated AI action plan comparable to Flanders or Wallonia. No binding AI school curriculum or workforce training mandate at the regional level. The AI Strategy is a policy framework, not legislation.
