Why Liège?

Liège is becoming a leading e-commerce hub for companies distributing their products both inside and outside Europe, which has only been reinforced by the arrival of Alibaba. Belgium’s proximity to seaports and airports, dense railways and highway networks, as well as having 60% of the continent’s purchasing power situated within 500 km, makes Liège one of the best locations for companies servicing European customers.
