" summary

Belgian public IT stacks around a searchable catalog at ICTreuse.be with 104 components, over 90% exposed as APIs and governed via a gcloud + API Gateway setup and enterprise architecture. Reuse is embedded in the project lifecycle so 66% of delivered functionality now comes from existing pieces, enabling rapid builds like contact tracing, a vaccination API mashup and a mobile inspection app that composes 11 APIs; yearly savings reach about €32 million saved.
