On-Demand – Part 2: A sustainable and connected Rail Baltica

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

The Rail Baltica megaproject has shown its resilience through crisis and is ready to act as a catalyst for growth. Rail Baltica aims to be a blueprint for the sustainable, innovative and multimodal connectivity of the future.

In Part 2 of the webinar series ‘Rail Baltica: opportunities in Europe’s latest megaproject’, senior Rail Baltica representatives updated the audience on the steps being taken to create an economically and environmentally sustainable network, with cutting-edge technology in mind. The EU Agency for Railways and the European supply industry association, UNIFE, debated regulatory, technical and practical considerations and how the sector is supporting and engaging with Rail Baltica.

During the webinar, the audience learnt important details of Rail Baltica’s procurement strategies and technical requirements for subsystems such as signalling, train control and energy.
