Note: Demand here is regulated-procurement-shaped — RFP-driven, slow, and very specific about residency. We win deals here on documentation, not price.

Brussels is a smaller market driven by a very specific gravity: EU institutions, regulators, and the layer of suppliers and SaaS firms that sell into them. We do not pretend it is Amsterdam. We use it where the buyer profile genuinely lives there — and that profile exists in healthy numbers.
