This webinar will be looking at the latest infrastructure projects going on around the world and the different challenges and opportunities they are facing.
At a time of great change in the rail industry in the UK, the nationalisation of rail and the 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for global rail infrastructure. Major projects are underway worldwide, including the expansion of the Grand Paris Express, a massive undertaking that will revolutionize the French capital’s transit system. In the United Kingdom, the High Speed 2 (HS2) project continues to progress, aiming to significantly reduce travel times between major cities. Meanwhile, in India, the Delhi-Mumbai High-Speed Rail Corridor is gaining momentum, promising to connect two of the country’s most populous cities at unprecedented speeds. These ambitious projects, along with numerous others, are set to reshape the future of rail transportation and contribute to sustainable urban development. This webinar will give experts from around the world the chance to discuss the challenges and opportunities they are facing.
