Belgium scores 3.72, with bottom-quartile scores on every pillar. Belgian businesses host heavily on US infrastructure (.be raw 0.42), grassroots adoption is weak, and developer density is mid-low.
Strengths
- Mid-low developer density — 2.92 per-capita index, just below the EU27 median.
Weaknesses
- Low private-sector hosting —
.beraw rating 0.42, bottom quartile. - Public Sector Health at 4.44 — Belgian government domains rely heavily on Akamai / Cloudflare / Fastly CDN edges.
- Bottom-tier grassroots — sovereign browser share 12.47%, Linux 3.47%.
Outlook
Belgium's score reflects a small domestic IT sector and heavy reliance on Anglo-American cloud providers (the country sits near the AWS Brussels region). The government has the policy framework to encourage EU-cloud adoption; execution has been limited.
Historical context
2020 baseline
In 2020, Belgium was an "emerging" nation with strong institutions but lacking a high-level, unified strategic vision. Its approach was practical and driven by a healthy bottom-up ecosystem.
2024 progression
Belgium's progress remains a result of collaboration between its various government levels. The federal public service body, FPS BOSA, actively contributes to open source projects, and strategic players like iMio are crucial in providing solutions to local governments.
