  • Abstract
    For more than two decade now, the Brussels Regional Informatics Centre (BRIC) has been focusing on transforming the Brussels-Capital Region into a smart city by organizing, promoting and spreading the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for the benefit of Brussels citizens, authorities, administrations, businesses and visitors. The strategy of this public interest agency is exposed through the presentation of its four main challenges for the next five years. The main theme running through these initiatives is sharing resources to ensure durability, efficiency and innovation for everyone.
