What starts in Leuven, always goes far beyond.

The Leuven Innovation Region brings together talent and research strength at a level most regions simply don’t have. Leuven sets the pace, our surrounding region strengthens it. The recent international recognitions - from European Capital of Innovation 2020 to European Capital of Culture 2030 - show that we're not your regular innovation region.
