In the context of climate change and continuous urbanisation, there is a need for modal shift to rail, as it is the backbone of a future sustainable mobility system.

Rail is a critical solution for providing mass transport in the modern world. Innovation in railways is necessary to improve customer experience and meet customer expectations of a clean, attractive and green railway sector. Innovation can reduce operating costs and improve performance in terms of safety, capacity and reliability to make rail more efficient and more competitive compared to other modes of transportation.

In light of this, UIC has the pleasure of inviting you to a webinar on innovation in the railways on 2 February 2024 from 9 am to 11 am.

During this webinar, you will hear more about innovation, models of innovation and why we need to consider the role and value of innovation for the railways. We will consider the process of innovation, as well as key factors and enablers/barriers to innovation and why we need to address these.

If you would like to join the discussion and learn more about innovation in rail, please register for the webinar using the form below:
