A very high percentage of Belgian firms (90%) reported having adopted digital technologies, the second highest percentage of all EU-countries and far above the bloc’s average, according to the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group Investment Survey country results released today. The survey results for Belgium also show that Belgian businesses are far ahead in using Internet of Things (IoT) in their firms. In this field Belgium is far ahead of other EU countries, with an adoption rate of around 65%.
DPG Media Group has signed a new lending agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB).
