The years indicated in the table and graph correspond to the first year of edition [for example, 2017 data comes from the 2017-2018 edition of the report]
The indicator is derived from the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey and is used to estimate the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Froum. The indicator answers the question: How do you assess the general state of infrastructure (e.g., transport, communications, and energy) in your country? [1 = extremely underdeveloped—among the worst in the world; 7 = extensive and efficient—among the best in the world].
Data cover a period of 2 years, the first year is indicated (2017 for 2017-2018).

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.
