Railway Direction Days

Transforming the transport infrastructure in the Three Seas region into a modern, sustainable, efficient and fully integrated public transport system, developing the HSR network in Poland and the Three Seas countries or stimulating economic development through railway projects – these are among the most important themes of the international congress organised by CPK. The first Railway Direction Days 2023 (RDD 2023) industry-level congress is planned to take place in January.

High-speed rail development has been placed at the centre of EU transport policy by the European Commission. Taking advantage of this impulse, the EU countries of the Three Seas Initiative have been developing their railway networks by constructing the first sections of the High-Speed Rail system. Projects such as Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) in Poland, together with Rail Baltica and V4 HSR, make an important contribution to the EU’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) policy and the goals of the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy, making Europe much better connected, integrated and secure.

These are the topics of the first edition of the Railway Direction Days congress, which is to be held in Warsaw on 18-19 January 2023. The congress is planned to contain two days of debates and discussions on the benefits of transforming the transport infrastructure in the Three Seas region. A particular aspect of the scheduled talks is the impact of the expansion and modernisation of the railway network in the region on the economies of Central and Eastern European countries, the decarbonisation of transport systems, and increasing the resilience and defence capabilities of European countries.
