Data Sources

Last updated: April 2026

A clear overview of where BelGrant’s company and grant information comes from, how it is maintained, and what users should independently verify before taking action.

1. Purpose of this page

BelGrant is designed as a discovery and research layer for Belgian grants, subsidies, and public support measures. This page explains the origin of the data presented on the platform and the limits that apply to it.

Our goal is to make public information easier to navigate, compare, and understand. We also want to be transparent about what is sourced directly from official systems and what is structured, summarized, or enriched inside BelGrant.

2. Company data

Company information shown on BelGrant is based on public Belgian business data, including KBO/BCE records and related official datasets where available.

This may include identifiers, company names, legal form, status, address-related information, and activity or sector-related fields depending on the underlying public source and processing stage.

3. Grant and subsidy data

Grant, subsidy, and public-support information is compiled from official or public-facing sources, including regional, federal, and European programs. This includes sources such as VLAIO, Innoviris, Walloon public-support bodies, Belgian federal institutions, and selected EU funding programs.

BelGrant may structure that information into searchable records with fields such as eligibility, region, category, deadlines, provider, funding range, and documentation requirements where those details can be identified from the source material.

4. Processing and enrichment

BelGrant may normalize, translate, summarize, categorize, or reorganize source information to improve usability. For example, we may convert long policy pages into shorter descriptions, classify a grant under a funding theme, or present estimated funding ranges in a consistent format.

This layer improves readability, but it also means BelGrant should be treated as an operational research tool, not as the final authoritative legal or administrative source.

5. What users must verify

Before applying for any grant or making a business decision based on BelGrant, users should verify the official source for the latest conditions, eligibility rules, submission deadlines, required documents, funding ceilings, legal criteria, and procedural steps.

Official program owners may update or remove information at any time. BelGrant does not guarantee that every field shown on the platform always reflects the latest official version at the exact moment of consultation.

6. Data quality and limitations

We aim to keep records accurate, useful, and commercially practical, but no aggregated platform is perfect. Source material may change, contain ambiguities, differ across languages, or be incomplete in the underlying public publication.

For that reason, BelGrant should be used to identify opportunities, narrow down relevant programs, and accelerate research, while final validation should always happen against the original provider source.

7. Corrections and updates

We may update records, classifications, summaries, deadlines, and supporting details as new information becomes available or when inconsistencies are identified.

If BelGrant later provides a formal support or correction channel, that channel may be used to report data issues or suggest updates.
