Liège is the economic capital of Wallonia, a leading industrial hub in aerospace, steel and logistics. Its Walloon economic summits, industrial conferences and events organised by the Liège Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIL) require high-quality simultaneous interpreting. Our agency covers the entire Liège arrondissement with certified interpreters.
Liège, Wallonia's industrial and economic capital
Liège is the economic heart of Wallonia, with a strong industrial identity built around aerospace (Safran, Sonaca, Thales Belgium), steel (ArcelorMittal Liège, symbolically important), logistics (Liège Airport, DHL/FedEx/Cargolux freight hub) and technology (spin-offs from the University of Liège). These sectors organise international technical conferences attracting engineers, researchers and executives from around the world.
The Liège-Verviers-Namur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCILVN) is one of Wallonia's leading organisers of economic forums. It runs international networking events, economic missions and conferences on Walloon competitiveness that bring together French, German, Dutch and international delegations requiring multilingual interpreting.
The Liège Congress Palace and the Grand Curtius are the city's main event venues, able to accommodate large-scale conferences with integrated or mobile simultaneous interpreting equipment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover specialist industrial conferences in Liège (aerospace, logistics)?
Yes, we have interpreters who specialise in technical fields: aerospace, mechanical engineering, logistics and supply chain. For highly technical conferences (aircraft engines, avionics systems, freight management), we ask for glossaries and presentations to be sent in advance to prepare terminology and guarantee precise interpreting.
Do you provide interpreting equipment at the Liège Congress Palace?
The Congress Palace has permanent booths in its main halls. For medium-sized rooms or events at other Liège venues, we provide ISO 4043 mobile booths and wireless audio distribution systems. We coordinate the full technical logistics.
Which languages are available for conferences in Liège?
We cover French, English, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and the main European languages as standard. Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese and African languages are available through our extended network. Liège's proximity to the German-speaking Community means German is particularly well represented among our local interpreters.

For a half day with a team of 2 interpreters (standard language pair), the indicative rate is €800-1,200. For a full day, expect €1,400-2,000. Multi-language or highly specialised technical events are quoted on a bespoke basis.
