## About this market
Public-sector AI in Flanders runs through procurement frameworks and long institutional memory, and every firm here has cleared that bar. ML6's public work includes the national cyber security center, the EU Council newsroom and Flemish highways, with published outcomes including 85% lower implementation cost on vulnerability advisory automation. In The Pocket built for DVZ, the Belgian Immigration Office, helping it manage its centers. element61 counts the Antwerp social-housing body Woonhaven and the water utility Water-link among more than 400 customers a year.

Government buyers carry a documentation burden most private clients never see, and the EU AI Act puts many administrative uses in its high-risk tier. Ask for the handover package from a previous public engagement—model documentation, evaluation records, runbooks, and what the institution was able to operate on its own afterward. A supplier that has produced one will describe it without preparation.
