Fact-Finding-Mission in Poland

In Poland, the largest economy in Central and Eastern Europe, Swissrail members were able to gain an impression of the challenges and opportunities in rail and mobility infrastructure and make important contacts.

In the first part of Swissrail's fact-finding mission in Mai 2024, the participants were able to discuss the challenges in the area of infrastructure and services with Polish experts. On the following days, the program included visits to the rolling stock supply industry with the system integrators Stadler, Alstom, PESA, PKP CARGO and Nevomo, which offered the best opportunity for exchange.

The size of the delegation of over 30 people underlined the huge potential of the Polish market. Four Swissrail board members also took part in the trip and describe their impressions below:
