What was the event about?

With its “Recovery Plan”, a strategic investment program, Belgium aims to accelerate transition towards a more sustainable, smart and inclusive economy, while also enhancing social, economic and climate resilience. Will the public sector with its ambitions truly be a key driver towards sustainable and smart infrastructure works? How are the sustainability goals for instance translated into the selection process? And what about the implementation of sustainability goals in infra works by the private sector?
