IRS12 - International Railway Summit

IRS12 Rome, Italy

What is International Railway Summit?

International Railway Summit is a meeting of the world’s key rail sector buyers and carefully selected technical experts.

Buyers’ project requirements are matched with experts’ solutions, which leads to bespoke 30-minute one-to-one meetings during the International Railway Summit.

In addition, delegates also attend a conference programme given by key industry leaders and experts and network with industry colleagues and potential business partners over lunches, dinners and site visits.

The 12th edition (IRS12) of the summit was held in Rome, Italy on 21 – 23 February 2023.
