Taking advantage of this favourable situation, the province of Liege hasbuilt up a top-level transportation infrastructure incorporating the most advanced facilities for road, water, air and rail transports.

Road, water, air and rail networks have been extensively developed to establish Liege as a leading intermodal site in the distribution market.

As a result, Liege has now become an area of expertise for distribution, transportation, export and international business.

It is no surprise that 20% of road traffic in Europe is actually performed by Belgian carriers.

The European market represents nearly half a billion customers. It has extended with twelve additional countries to a buying power of nearly 10 billion euros.

The European Union population is the world's third largest after China and India, and accounts for some 7% of the total world population.

Liege is also a member of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine that represents 3.7 million customers at a 30-minute drive.
