The Brussels-Capital Region, a dynamic and internationally oriented region.

As the capital of the European Union, the Brussels-Capital Region is home to a wide array of international institutions and organisations. As an internationally oriented region, it has pursued a dynamic foreign policy since 1989.

The administration Brussels International was founded in order to develop a coherent European and foreign policy for the Brussels-Capital Region. Within the Brussels Regional Public Service, it coordinates the region's European relations and commitments as well as its international representation. The administration is led by director-general Anne Claes and consists of two departments:

• The External Relations Department;
• The ERDF Department (European Regional Development Fund) - Beliris

The administration also counts two coordinating units:

• The Financial and Accounting Unit;
• The Communication Unit.

Two more units fall directly under the responsibility of the director-general:

• The Licensing Unit;
• The Delegation of the Brussels-Capital Region to the European Union.

Furthermore, the director-general is assisted by a Coordination Unit.
