The Brussels Research and Innovation Center for Green Technologies develops fuel cells, hydrogen storage and e-mobility applications for maritime and vehicle sectors that feed into everyday transport choices in the capital.

These projects matter now because the Brussels-Capital Region has cut the environmental footprint of its information technology systems since 2021. Public services that residents use daily rely on those systems for administration, permitting and data handling.

Named organisations and venues drive the work

BRING operates as a nonprofit focused on clean energy and sustainable transport solutions. sustAIn.brussels functions as a European Digital Innovation Hub that targets the region’s 99.7 percent SME-dominated industrial base to raise ICT uptake for both environmental goals and AI tools. Paradigm became the first Belgian public institution to receive the Sustainable IT Label in 2023 after work that began in 2021.

The GreenTech Forum Brussels gathered more than 50 exhibitors and 700 visitors at Maison de la Poste in Tour & Taxis on 17-18 June 2025 to discuss responsible AI and energy-efficient data centres. Brussels also maintains its position as a Cleantech centre that assists firms working on clean energy, sustainable transport, waste management and green construction.

Scale of activity and next steps for residents

The 99.7 percent SME share and the 2023 label award supply concrete markers of progress already recorded in public records. Residents can track outcomes through improved public-sector IT efficiency and through transport options that draw on the hydrogen and e-mobility work under way at BRING.

Anyone seeking to engage can contact hub.brussels for startup support programmes or consult the BRING website for project updates on fuel-cell and storage technologies that affect vehicle fleets. No new public events have been announced beyond the 2025 forum.
