SCANDINAVIA’S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION BUILT ON SPEED OF INNOVATION

Scandinavia is modernising its Railways to benefit passengers and support economic growth as new capacity is required. Conventional ways of providing this capacity by building new railway infrastructure would be hugely disruptive, very costly and arguably unachievable. The adoption of new innovative digital technologies, along with a new way of thinking, is a cost-effective way of releasing significant additional capacity on the existing network. This virtual workshop will discuss how the Scandinavia's Infrastructure Managers are harnessing the latest digital trends to achieve their goal of increasing capacity, reducing delays, enhancing safety and driving down costs.
