Brussels Days: the best of Brussels in Paris

During the Brussels Days in Paris, an extensive delegation from the Brussels-Capital Region will be present. Businesses, political representatives and players from the tourism sector will all be on hand to show the best of Brussels. The purpose of the Brussels Days? Developing solid partnerships and know-how!  

After a missed appointment in Madrid in 2019 and a difficult 2020, Paris is the venue of choice for a new edition of the Brussels Days.

The Brussels Days are traditionally an excellent opportunity to showcase the many assets of Brussels to the outside world. This year we’ve chosen Paris as the starting point for the Brussels Days, which will take place on September 22 to 24. It’s an ideal moment to launch new collaborations and to boost both tourism and economic recovery.

Brussels is home to many leading companies in a number of high-growth sectors: circular economy, the audiovisual sector, culture, sustainable construction and Smart Cities. A few of the pioneers from these sectors will soon set the tone during the Brussels Days in Paris.
