The International Action Plan 2026 brings together 87 international actions — economic missions, trade fairs, buyer invitations, sector events and preparation seminars — all designed to support the international growth of Brussels-based companies.
A strong focus on Europe
In 2026, hub.brussels puts a strong emphasis on Europe and neighbouring markets. With most Brussels exports staying within Europe, the strategy focuses on accessible destinations that combine business opportunities, proximity and a responsible approach to international development.
For companies, this means the possibility to grow internationally while optimising travel, costs and impact.
Digital technologies at the heart of the strategy
Among the priority sectors of the plan, digital technologies play a central role. As a transversal sector impacting healthtech, fintech, mobility, cybersecurity, AI and smart cities, tech is present across all key regions covered by the plan: Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa and the MENA region.
A strong signal for Software cluster members looking to expand their footprint abroad.
Key international tech fairs in 2026
International trade fairs remain powerful accelerators to showcase your solutions and meet qualified leads. In 2026, hub.brussels will support Brussels tech companies at major events such as:
4YFN, VivaTech, Slush, GITEX Asia, TechCrunch Disrupt and SusHi Tech Tokyo, among others.
