Liège, Belgium | 8–10 September 2026

Alkagesta participated in the EU Cross-Border E-commerce Forum in Liège, Belgium — an international event bringing together e-commerce, air cargo, and logistics professionals from across Europe and beyond. Held over three days, the forum gathered 850 attendees from more than 300 companies, including freight forwarders, cargo airlines, customs authorities, logistics leaders, and supply chain players from across the cargo spectrum.

The event was hosted in Liège, home to one of Europe’s leading cargo hubs — Liege Airport, ranked the first freighter cargo airport in Europe and fifth overall — positioning the forum at the intersection of logistics infrastructure, digital commerce, and international trade.

Alkagesta was represented by Alex Yusifli, Business Development Manager, and Alasgar Guliyev, Operations Manager, who engaged with industry participants across the forum’s conference, exhibition, and networking programme.

Among the topics addressed during the forum were:

  • How freight forwarders can balance efficiency, resilience, and growth in an increasingly unstable cargo market
  • Diversifying cargo flows amid market uncertainty
  • Data quality and compliance as drivers of air cargo competitiveness
  • E-commerce adaptation to new policies, consumers, and supply chain realities
  • Standardisation in air cargo and its implications for the industry
  • The role of generative AI in scaling logistics operations

For Alkagesta, participation in the EU Cross-Border E-commerce Forum provided valuable insight into the evolving dynamics of air cargo, cross-border logistics, and international supply chains — areas of growing relevance to the company’s commercial activities across global trade and energy markets.
