For more than a decade now, the Railway PRO Investment Summit – the most representative and innovative event of the Railway Pro Communication Platform – has been the gathering place for hundreds of key players from the international railway market, each one offering their insight and contribution towards developing rail related projects.
The 11th edition is set to take place on 11 – 13 October in Bucharest, Romania and is already looking to surpass the previous events through an increasingly higher attendance of top decision makers and representatives of the railway industry and organisations. Delegates from the European Commission, the European Parliament, international public authorities, IFIs, as well as rail associations have booked their place among the speakers at the event and they will be joined by the representatives from Ministries in Romania that deal with railway investments, such as Transport, Economy, European Funds and Regional Development, providing valuable insights concerning ongoing and future projects and sharing their visions on the progress and direction of the rail transport market.
The exposition that will take place during the Railway Pro Investment Summit will provide the companies with the chance to present their latest products and developments in front of a highly specialised audience composed of hundreds of leaders and key players acting on the international railway market. It is an excellent networking opportunity through direct interaction with the exhibitors to share insights and information that is beneficial for the growth of the global railway market.
The debated topics during this edition of the Railway Pro Investment Summit are comprehensive and diverse, providing the participants details regarding the Fourth Railway Package, Shift2Rail Initiative, the Horizon 2020 programme, Technical Specifications for Interoperability as well as latest development concerning the TEN-T network.
