The e-commerce Lab to boost your online sales

The EU Cross-Border E-Commerce Forum is back in Wallonia on 13 and 14 September 2023. Organised by the Walloon Export and Foreign Investment Agency since 2019, this two-day international event brings together the leading players in cross-border e-commerce. The programme includes conferences, round tables and an awards ceremony, as well as a LAB demonstrating new technologies available to businesses to support online sales, and a live sales studio on Tik-Tok with influencers. 

This Wednesday and Thursday at the Ecolys Business Village, do not miss "THE LAB", a demonstration and experience area to discover new trends, tools and technological applications, not only to optimise the commercial performance of companies already active in e-commerce, but also to improve the customer experience of any commercial enterprise, including traditional retailers.  

This year's exhibition is divided into two distinct sections: 

Part 1: the Tool box

The Tool box is a 60 m2 exhibition space where you can discover, test and interact with the products and services of the following 4 European companies, two from Wallonia and two from France, all leaders in their sector. 

- Haptic Media
This French company publishes software specialising in Cloud & 3D solutions for e-tailers who want to create impactful and engaging digital 3D experiences.

T-Art will be organising four live-streaming sales demonstrations on TikTok with a live-streamer and professional technical operators. In addition to these sessions, you too can slip into the shoes of a live-streamer for a real live online session, test the equipment or receive technical advice or even a quick coaching session on how to present your products and services on camera.
