International Railway Congress

Eurovio is co-organizer

With the first International Railway Congress 2019 in Vienna, a series of congresses discusses the future of railway at global management level. The congress serves as a platform for an exchange of experience and deepening of business relations between representatives of the international transport and logistics industry.

Several cooperation agreements have already been signed at the first congress. Among other things, the Ministry of Transport from Russia, Slovakia and Austria signed a Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) on the realization of the freight train line Kosice – Bratislava – Vienna.

Hubert Jeneral, President and Initiator of the IRC 2019, is delighted and grateful: “I thank all guests and international speakers for coming. The Congress is already bearing the first fruits of success with numerous cooperation agreements, but this is only the beginning. I am very grateful to our partners, the BMVIT, ÖBB and RZD for the good cooperation and Harald Mahrer and the WKÖ for the hospitality in their house. Cooperation between politics and business is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of this opportunity of the century for Austria. As a congressional organizer, I have heard clear positive signals from both sides,” the president concludes.

Our goals

Technology platform

Rail projects should not be understood as a purely national enterprise, but as part of a global structure. Short-sightedness, both in expensive tendering procedures and in tenders, can be an economic risk for participating companies. An association / consortium of providers can deliver the best outcome for all parties involved.

Maximum interoperability

Our goal is to provide a platform for discussing better cross-border system integration. The future path should be a maximum of interoperability in a global rail supply market.

Real economic growth

By improving the development of rail transport between the world’s largest economies and economic powers, all parties’ involved as well as concerned societies will benefit of and achieve real economic growth.

Breaking down geopolitical barriers

Improving the efficiency of international rail freight and passenger transport by breaking down geopolitical barriers.

Promoting international mobility, standardisation and interoperability

During the two-day conference, speakers will debate the opportunities and potentials of rail convergence, harmonisation of railway and infrastructure, as well as issues of sustainability, environmental sustainability and the development of environmentally friendly technologies.

The goal is to promote technological cooperation and convergence between the CEE region, the EU, with a focus on Western Europe and the international market, with a focus on the MEA region. The Congress achieves this by connecting the C-level with decision-makers of railway operators, industry, policy makers and railway organisations.
