Global Rail Freight Conference
The aim of the GRFC is to develop benchmarking and exchange of best practice at global level and to stimulate new partnerships between all stakeholders and players. The UIC Global Rail Freight Conference is the place to be every two years for decision-makers from the political, economic and transport world.
A series of successful editions that attracted several hundred participants have been held in Delhi (2007), Saint-Petersburg (2010), Tangier (2012), Vienna (2014) and Rotterdam (2016).
Market Place Seminar
Since 2008 UIC and FIATA have jointly organised – usually in a European strategic transport hub – a market place seminar with the aim to create opportunities for increasing cooperation and business development within railway undertakings, operators, freight forwarders and customer, sea carriers and transport professionals in general.
Seminars have been successfully held in Prague (2008), Istanbul (2009), Barcelona (2010), Hamburg (2011), Vienna (2013), Trieste (2014) and Antwerp (2015).
The next Seminar is scheduled to take place in 2017 in Duisburg, Germany.
