This event brings together leading players and experts to discuss the role Poland plays today and will play in the future in the rail cargo industry, what infrastructure is being or needs to be developed, such as intermodal logistics centres, and the influence of and expectations for such initiatives as Belt and Road, Three Seas, Rail Baltica, TEN-T and environmentally friendly transport.
