It is that time of the year again: the 8th edition of the RailFreight Summit is just around the corner. Join dozens of industry professionals to assess how ports and railways cooperate and how these synergies could be enhanced through the deployment of new technologies and policies.
The event will be held in Gdańsk, Poland, on 8 and 9 April 2025 in the beautiful Scandic Hotel. The highlights of the event will include interesting sessions where speakers from various segments of the industry will take the stage and discuss how ports and railways can cooperate to contribute to the modal shift.

It’s all about ports and railways
The programme includes speakers from port authorities including Gdańsk, Trieste, Barcelona, Hamburg and Calais. They will delve into how each port is developing rail freight, with different approaches but one common goal. Moreover, there will be the participation of terminal operators and equipment manufacturers as well as companies working on the technologies of tomorrow.
Other main topics which will be addressed at the RailFreight Summit there will be the shortage of rail workers that affects many countries in Europe and we will hear about the latest developments along the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor. When it comes to policies, the focus will be on European-wide initiatives such as DAC, ERTMS, TSI and the Greening Freight Package, and what the industry thinks of them.
