The indicator provides the gross fixed capital formation at current prices (national accounts) for the ICT assets, as a percentage of GDP. According to European System of accounts 2010 (ESA 2010), gross fixed capital formation (P.51) consists of resident producers' acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during a given period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by the productive activity of producer or institutional units. Fixed assets are produced assets used in production for more than one year.

The website www.innovationdata.be provides a set of indicators describing the progress made by Belgium and its Regions in the field of innovation. The website has been developed by the Federal Planning Bureau at the request of the Belgian Science Policy Office, following the Federal Government's decision to create a transversal technology platform.
The Science Policy department of the federal authorities is responsible for designing and implementing programmes and research networks, as well as managing Belgium's participation in European and international organisations (European Space Agency, European Southern Observatory, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, etc.) and supervising the ten federal scientific establishments.
