In addition to the app, Bol.com also comes with a French-language website for Belgian customers – IT Pro – News

I can still enter Brussels, but the fact that they are looking for partners in Wallonia will be a difficult story.

The number of inhabitants is limited with 3.4 million, the average income is remarkably lower, young people are leaving en masse because of no future, while broadband internet achieves a penetration of 55% compared to 87% for Flanders.

E-commerce in Wallonia is rather non-existent, any province in Flanders has more E-commerce providers than all provinces in Wallonia combined. And then you have to take into account that E-commerce in Flanders is considered to have failed, too little too late, due to cutthroat competition, especially from the Netherlands.

The E-commerce market in Wallonia shrank by 2% in 2019, while that in Flanders increased by 11%. Which area is experiencing a decline in E-commerce right now?

There are simply no E-commerce partners in Wallonia and there is no demand at all, I suspect that Bol sees this as a market to be exploited but I fear that there is not much to exploit.
