The ERDF
For over thirty years, the Brussels-Capital Region and the European Union have been investing jointly in Brussels, through the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) among other things.
Over 160 “ERDF” projects in Brussels have already been supported, contributing to research and innovation, entrepreneurship, the development of the circular economy, improving the living environment of neighbourhoods, enhancing biodiversity, reinforcing green infrastructure in urban areas or the socio-economic integration of marginalized communities and disadvantaged groups.
The projects that have seen the light of day thanks to ERDF support are improving the daily lives of the inhabitants of Brussels, and are a real “More for Brussels!”
Discover all the ERDF projects supported in the Brussels-Capital Region by consulting our project map.
