Walloon Brabant, Province capital in Wallonia, Belgium
Walloon Brabant spreads across 1,097 square kilometers of rolling hills between Brussels and Wallonia, featuring agricultural lands and urban developments throughout the region.
The province emerged in 1995 when Belgium divided the former Province of Brabant into three distinct territories as part of the country's federal restructuring.
The French-speaking region maintains strong academic connections through the University of Louvain and the Louvain-la-Neuve Science Park, which foster research and innovation.
The central location provides direct train and bus connections to major Belgian cities, with Brussels accessible within 30 minutes from most municipalities.
GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals in Rixensart produces 25 percent of global vaccines, making Walloon Brabant a central hub for pharmaceutical research and production.
