Oriented on making people closer

Under the patronage of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, the exhibition and conference "Global Rail Infrastructure" will be held in Abu Dhabi from October 8-10, 2024. The first flagship event will be organized by Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE national railway network, in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, ADNEC Group and the leading organizer of DMG Events.

The event, titled "Building Transport Infrastructure and Global Connectivity in Motion," will attract railway and transportation industry leaders, strategists and industry experts, bringing together more than 15,000 senior executives, thought leaders, 1,000 delegates and more than 300 exhibiting companies from more than 40 countries, writes The Gulf Time.

The three-day Global Rail program will include six thematic streams, including more than 40 main sessions, panel discussions and fireside talks. These sessions will address global trends in the railway industry, sustainable railway infrastructure, challenges of multimodal integration, environmental impacts, new regulatory frameworks, financing, logistics, and advanced safety practices.

The event will be attended by more than 120 speakers, including world politicians, government representatives, institutional leaders and railway pioneers. They will come together to set an example of the international dialogue needed to bring together the main centers of population and industry in an interconnected future.

Christopher Hudson, president of DMG Events, said: "Global Rail will open an unprecedented demonstration of modern rail solutions and initiate important discussions, and the support and participation we see from key stakeholders who will participate is testament to the industry's shared commitment to expanding transportation choices at a rapid pace."

The purpose of the event is to demonstrate a new area of socio-economic growth and diversification opportunities, focusing on international cooperation and strategic initiatives to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through alternative transport solutions. Visitors can expect to receive information about the next generation of rail transport, intelligent railway systems and the transformative power of artificial intelligence in railway automation.
