Digital Inclusion - All the services at your disposal in the Brussels-Capital Region

MAKE DIGITAL ACCESSIBLE TO ALL INHABITANTS OF BRUSSELS

The digital transition is helping to make Brussels a Smart City which increases the well-being of citizens, opens up professional opportunities for them, facilitates interactions with administrations and stimulates economic dynamism. In this perspective, it is essential to increase the accessibility and basic digital skills of citizens.

However, this digitalisation also leads to inequalities within the population:
 

  • those linked to access to computers and an Internet connection;
  • those linked to knowledge of computers and how to use them;
  • those linked to usage and the ability to take ownership of the contents made accessible by ICTs.


To reduce these inequalities, the Region has approved an action plan ( FR / NL). Through this plan, the Region acknowledges the urgent need to take concrete measures to enhance the digital skills of the people of Brussels.
