Wallonia has once again taken part in Transport Logistic in Munich. Located at the heart of Europe, Wallonia holds a strategic position for companies seeking the best logistic and distribution ecosystem in Europe, with competitive and efficient logistics services. This year, Wallonia Export & Investment Agency (AWEX) was present in Munich on June 4th with 11 companies, for an insightful seminar where industry leaders discussed Belgium’s advancements in multimodal transport and modal shift.
A Multimodal Ecosystem in Europe
Located at the heart of Europe’s main markets, Wallonia, Belgium boasts major logistical advantages: an efficient inland waterways network, two strategic airport hubs, and a highly developed intermodal infrastructure. Notably, Liege Airport is the fifth-largest cargo airport in Europe. It specializes in e-commerce, perishable goods and live animals, pharmaceutical products, and express shipments. Liege is also known for its inland port, which is the leading one in Belgium and ranked as the 3rd largest in Europe. Worth to mention, Wallonia's rail network is a pivotal component of Europe's transportation landscape, offering strategic connectivity, supporting multimodal logistics, and contributing to the EU's sustainability objectives.
This network is further strengthened by Walloon companies whose core expertise lies in road transport and logistics. These companies are increasingly turning toward future-ready solutions, such as electric trucks and alternative fuels.
This exceptional density of interconnected transport infrastructure allows businesses to optimize their supply chains by combining modes of transport according to their specific needs. From food logistics to vaccines, chemical products, and radioactive materials for nuclear medicine, Wallonia consistently meets the needs of investors and the market.
Multimodality in Belgium: When Vision Becomes Reality
On June 4th, 2025, at Transport Logistic Munich, industry leaders hosted an insightful seminar discussing Belgium's advancements in multimodal transport. They covered everything about how rail, road, air, and maritime networks are integrated to enhance logistics efficiency and sustainability.
The event also highlighted Belgium's pivotal role within the European Union's transport strategy, particularly in the context of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and the European Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs). These initiatives aim to create a seamless and sustainable multimodal transport network across Europe, aligning with the EU's Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the objectives of the European Green Deal.
A key feature of the seminar was the panel discussion titled "Rebalancing the Modal Split Between Different Modes of Transport". This session brought together experts from various sectors to discuss strategies for optimizing the use of different transport modes, fostering cooperation with international operators, and addressing the challenges and opportunities in achieving a more balanced and sustainable transport system.
