Method and sources

The register (2019 to 2025) holds 590,334 entries. 257,295 of them are shown, 48% of the "paid" amount. These are the recipients with an enterprise number that are legal entities. Not shown: 55 of natural persons or sole traders, 330,635 without an enterprise number, 2,349 with a number no longer (or never) in the open KBO data.

The cadastre carries enterprise numbers only from 2021; payments from 2019 and 2020 cannot be linked to any company.

The register at its source: Wallonia-Brussels Federation, subsidy cadastre (opens the source's website)

The figures come from five public registers, updated every night: the Flemish subsidy register, the subsidy cadastre of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the federal government's financial transfers (FPS BOSA), the European Commission's Financial Transparency System and the CORDIS research database. The figures are as the register publishes them. Checked adds them up per recipient, year and programme, within one register.

The registers do not count the same money. They hold awarded and paid subsidies, payments, invoiced transfers, attributed shares of EU commitments and contributions to research projects. So one register is shown at a time, never a total across registers.

Only legal entities with an enterprise number appear in the lists. Natural persons and sole traders are not shown, even where the register states their number. They do count in the register's coverage.
