18-20 June 2007
VVC Moskov
This event, a combination of a conference and
an exhibition, took place on 18, 19 and 20 June 2007 in the
VVC Centre in Moscow, Russian Federation. The goals of this
three-day event are to present technologies, equipment and services
to the Russian and international railway communities, to create an
optimal platform for business communications between sellers and
buyers, to attract investments for Russian railway infrastructure
development, to discuss relevant legal and technical issues of
international freight and passenger connection, to discuss
opportunities of the traffic process optimization and operational
compatibility. Concurrently with this event also the UIC Annual
General Assembly will be held. Hence the top of the international
railway sector will be in Moscow during these days. This event
therefore offers an unique opportunity to meet the top executives of
Russian Railways and UIC members from all over the world. Mr. Vadim
Morozov, First Vice President of Russian Railways, considers it very
important that this conference is being held in Moscow, in close
cooperation with the UIC and other railway associations.
The conference Rail-Tech® Russia 2007, which
will be held concurrently with the exhibition, will provide the
opportunity to set up business relations between top managers of the
industry, as well as to discuss the most relevant industrial
questions and to be informed by the leading industry experts. A
forum of such a level is being held in Russia for the first time.
This event therefore is a must for all Russian- and international
railway operators, manufactures, dealers, exporters and importers of
railway equipment, investors, representatives of leasing, insurance
and finance companies, designers, engineers, architects, freight
operators, major producers etc.
The Rail-Tech® Russia conference programme is being put together by
a high quality international advisory committee. The programme
promises to become a very international one with a focus on Russia
as a strategic link between Europe and Asia and also the further
development of the Russian railways infrastructure and the
investments in this sector. Over 55 speakers from prominent
companies make the programme diverse and innovative. Prominent names
from this list are among others: Vladimir Yakunin, President of JSC
Russian Railways; Alexandr Misharin, Deputy Minister of Transport;
Jay Prakash Batra, CEO Indian Railways and Chairman of UIC; Philippe
Mellier, CEO Alstom Transportation; Aad Veenman, CEO Netherlands
Railways and Chairman CER; Tadeusz Szozda, Chairman OSJD; Michael
Clausecker, General Director UNIFE; Hartmut Mehdorn, CEO Deutsche
Bahn and Chairman of UIC (Section Europe); WolfgangToelsner, CEO
