🇪🇺 🚄 This is big.

We support the European Commission's announcement of an ambitious and emphatic High Speed Rail Plan.

Europe has a political, customs and currency union – it’s time for a complete, modern transport union.

🚆 What a week it's been at TRAKO in Gdansk!

🤝 We've been spending our time with members, partners, and stakeholders to explore new business opportunities, expand our network, and discuss the competitiveness of Europe's rail supply industry—especially in #Poland, a key market.

💪 It was a message that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk echoed in his speech - "In Gdansk, we are doers - not talkers."

📍 A busy start and lots to do – but don’t forget to come visit us at Hall E, Stand 109 until Thursday!

🎤 It was excellent to see UNIFE’s Chair Michael Peter making his remarks on a panel yesterday, outlining the efforts of Poland, and their ongoing work to invest in the network. UNIFE finds their efforts on ERTMS very positive!
September 24, 2025 at 12:48 PM
😅 TRAKO POLAND was off to a busy start this week!

🤝 On Monday, UNIFE met with Alan Beroud (CEO of PKP S.A.), while we built deeper bonds with JSC Ukrainian Railways (Oleksandr Pertsovskyi) on the eve of the conference.

💪 We think it's time that should change.

🆕 With the European Commission's review of Public Procurement Directives coming soon, we have a few ideas where we could start.
September 24, 2025 at 12:19 PM
⏱️ It's time to change the rules.

🖹 🇪🇺 Put simply, companies in non-EU countries are allowed to bid on EU public contracts, but often don't allow and prevent EU companies from bidding on public contracts in their country or jurisdiction.
September 24, 2025 at 12:19 PM
👋 Now you have no excuse not to say hello.

💼 The UNIFE team will be at TRAKO in #Gdansk this week sharing industry trends, while giving our perspective and vital updates on EU affairs.

📍 We'll be at Hall E, Stand 109 - see you there!
