Economy, Science and Innovation is the ideal mix to send Flanders to the top of European regions. The department of Economy, Science and Innovation seeks to achieve this through the correct preparation, monitoring and evaluation of policy.

The role of the EWI Department is to prepare, monitor, evaluate and report on public policy in the field of enterprise (economic support and entrepreneurship), science and innovation, thereby contributing to greater wealth and well-being in Flanders.

Its levers are the promotion of:

• excellence in scientific research;
• an attractive and sustainable business climate;
• a creative, innovative and entrepreneurial society.
