About the BDIA
The Belgian Digital Infrastructure Association (BDIA) represents, promotes and brings together the companies that form Belgium’s digital backbone.
Our community includes data centre operators and companies active across the broader digital infrastructure value chain, spanning data centres, connectivity, cloud and AI.
Together, we provide a strong and representative voice for Belgium’s digital infrastructure ecosystem.
BDIA connects the community, facilitates knowledge sharing, increases the sector’s visibility and represents its interests towards policymakers and other key stakeholders.
As a neutral, connecting dialogue partner, we bring together businesses, governments, and knowledge institutions to support the sustainable development of digital infrastructure.
Our ambition is clear: to strengthen Belgium’s position as a strategic European digital hub, powered by sustainable, sovereign and resilient digital infrastructure, and to help build a competitive, innovative and future-proof digital economy.
