Experts will take the stage to share their experiences and discuss key industry trends, including groundbreaking technologies, sustainable and smart city transportation, the digital twin era in rail systems, and the practical applications of emerging technologies across sectors—from defense to civil industries.
Mobility Technologies and Future Rail Innovations: Start-up Forum
On the final day of the Eurasia Rail Exhibition, the Conference Stage will highlight advancements in mobility technology, innovative applications developed by university engineering departments that have ranked in competitions, and next-generation railway technologies. These discussions will bring together key industry stakeholders and dynamic young teams from the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Semi Benbanaste, Eurasia Rail Exhibition Director, emphasized the growing significance of rail systems due to their speed, cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits, safety, and modern infrastructure. He stated: “Rail systems are becoming increasingly important worldwide due to their fast, economical, environmentally friendly and safe nature. Türkiye is also making significant strides in this field, accelerating its railway investments. For example, the share of rail in the investment portfolio increased from 33 percent in 2013 to 55 percent in 2024. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure currently oversees 805 major projects within its investment portfolio. Today, the total value of transportation investments—spanning road, rail, air, maritime, and communications—has reached $280.6 billion. Additionally, rail passenger transportation has reached an all-time high with 12.4 million passengers in 2024 and direct access provided to 11 cities. These extensive investments are accelerating modernization efforts, strengthening logistics networks, and enhancing global competitiveness. These developments further strengthen Türkiye’s influence and growth potential in the global rail market. In the coming years, the goal is to expand this progress even further through sustainable transportation and infrastructure projects.”
Semi Benbanaste continued: “At Eurasia Rail, the only railway exhibition in the Eurasia region and one of the three largest in the world, we are preparing to showcase our country’s success story in this field on a global stage. The bilateral business meetings held within the scope of Eurasia Rail will significantly contribute to both the railway sector and the national economy. Additionally, the conference programs held alongside the exhibition will provide a vital platform for sharing industry knowledge and expertise. As we prepare to host Eurasia Rail for the 11th time, we are fully committed to experiencing firsthand the sector’s great transformation and introducing visitors to the latest innovations in railway technologies.”
