Railway development

The project entitled “The Future Railway Infrastructure” originated
from the IVA project “Cooperation for Growth.” In 2006
a preliminary study was carried out in preparation for a longterm
project for the purpose of developing the railway industry
in Sweden.

The goal is to build long-term cooperation.
Cooperation will bring a better supply of expertise and knowledge
to the industry, help Swedish industry develop in this
area and inject Swedish points of view in the development
debate at the European level.

The steering committee has representatives from throughout
the railway industry. A number identified of strategic challenges
form a basis for the project work. The questions to be
answered are: How can we capitalise on the fact that Sweden
was deregulated early on? Which competencies in the field
should be preserved? How can our expertise and experience be
used to increase exports? How can Sweden increase its participation
in the cooperation processes in the railway sector in
Europe?
