The technology flows refer to the average of technological payments and receipts. The technology balance of payments (TBP) registers the commercial transactions related to international technology and know-how transfers. It consists of money paid or received for the use of patents, licenses, know-how, trademarks, patterns, designs, technical services (including technical assistance), and for industrial research and development carried out abroad, etc. The coverage may vary from country to country and TBP data should only be considered as partial measures of international technology flows.

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.
