Document background
The Framework Partnership Agreement serves as a master agreement for organizations seeking to establish a long-term collaborative relationship under Belgian law. It is particularly useful when parties anticipate multiple joint projects or ongoing cooperation that requires a stable governance structure. This document type is commonly used in both private and public sector collaborations, providing a foundation for subsequent project-specific agreements while addressing key aspects such as intellectual property rights, resource sharing, and risk allocation. The agreement must comply with Belgian civil and commercial law requirements, including the 2019 Civil Code reforms, and incorporate relevant EU regulations. It's especially valuable for complex partnerships requiring flexibility in implementation while maintaining consistent operational principles.
