Alkagesta Attends 2026 Cross-Border Logistics Forum in Liège

The EU Cross-Border E-commerce Forum convened in Liège, Belgium, from 8 to 10 September 2026, drawing professionals from the international logistics, air freight, and digital commerce sectors. Over the three-day gathering, approximately 850 participants representing upwards of 300 enterprises took part in panel discussions and networking sessions. The delegation included cargo airlines, freight forwarders, customs officials, and supply chain operators operating across the broader transport spectrum.

The gathering took place near Liege Airport, an essential European cargo facility recognized as the continent's top-ranked freighter hub and fifth largest cargo airport overall. This location highlighted the relationship between international trade flows, digital sales channels, and physical transport infrastructure. Hosting the forum at this strategic node provided an operational backdrop for examining evolving transport corridors and air cargo capacity.

Trading firm Alkagesta attended the conference to connect with cross-border transport stakeholders and assess emerging freight developments. The company was represented on site by Business Development Manager Alex Yusifli and Operations Manager Alasgar Guliyev. Both executives took part in the forum's broader exhibition, conference tracks, and business networking sessions.

Key panel topics addressed methods for freight forwarding businesses to manage efficiency, operational resilience, and commercial expansion amidst volatile market conditions. Delegates also explored strategies to diversify cargo streams against a backdrop of global commercial uncertainty. Furthermore, sessions highlighted how data integrity and regulatory compliance serve as critical components for boosting air freight competitiveness.

Discussions additionally evaluated the integration of generative artificial intelligence to scale operational logistics and streamline workflows. Speakers examined industry standardisation initiatives alongside regulatory and consumer shifts impacting cross-border distribution networks. For Alkagesta, the forum offered insight into air logistics and supply chain trends that intersect with its broader commercial presence in global commodity and energy markets.
