The 10^th^ edition of EXPO Ferroviaria, the fair for railway technology, will return to Fiera Milano Rho, 28-30 September 2021, gathering the organisations operating in the fields of rolling stock and infrastructure technologies.
Organised by Mack-Brooks Exhibitions since 2004, EXPO Ferroviaria is Italy's leading showcase entirely dedicated to the rail industry, which in 2019 recorded an overall growth of 28% in occupied space. The 10th edition of the fair will take place in Milan from September 28 to September 30 and reunite specialists at all management levels, from key industry contractors, suppliers and sub-contractors, equipment manufacturers, to public transport operators and management authorities.
The event will provide the sector an opportunity for networking and exchange about current challenges. In addition, the event will see an optimisation of its exhibition space by splitting its total space between a first hall entirely dedicated to infrastructure products and technologies, and a second hall hosting key players in the field of rolling stock. The over 17,000m2 of exhibition space will also host technical workshops, seminars and high-level speakers.
"In the current economic context, which has seen the railway industry severely affected by the global health crisis, especially in passenger transport, it is crucial that we provide our exhibitors with the platform they need to emerge from the crisis quicker and stronger," says Olaf Freier, Portfolio Director of EXPO Ferroviaria on behalf of the Organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions. "The new optimised distribution of space will also allow exhibitors and visitors to network and do business in an area dedicated to their sector of activity, leading to better business opportunities and enhanced visitor experience at the show."
Among the ranks of confirmed exhibitors at EXPO Ferroviaria 2021 are small and medium-sized companies as well as large enterprises, including Alstom, Wabtec, Stadler Rail, ABB, Vossloh, Pfisterer, GCF Generali Costruzioni Ferroviarie and Tekfer.
EXPO Ferroviaria is part of a series of targeted trade events for the railway industry, including SIFER in France and Railtex and Infrarail in the UK, all taking place in the second half of.
