The European Railcast – Strengthening European competitiveness: is rail a key player?

What if rail, innovation, and European competitiveness were part of the same story? In this third episode of The European Railcast, host Jacki Davis welcomes Pierre Fleury, Chief Technical Officer at Alstom, who will share some of the groundbreaking solutions supporting Europe’s competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience. 

We also hear from Iosu Ibarbia, Technology Director at CAF, who offers his perspective on rail’s role in Europe’s economy and on how to tackle current and future technological challenges, ensuring the industry’s contribution to European competitiveness. 

While most innovations are not visible to passengers, they play a vital role in supporting the EU’s efforts to remain a key global economic player. At EU-Rail, we promote the deployment of innovative solutions at European level, fostering the development of a strong and globally competitive European rail industry. 

The European Railcast: A Podcast About the Future of European Mobility is brought to you by Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking, the European partnership for rail research and innovation under the EU’s Horizon Europe programme.
