Investments in public transport, freight transportation and fleet modernisation create opportunities for companies offering vehicles and transport equipment. - Components, subsystems and safety technologies
Electrification, automation and increasing safety requirements are driving demand for components, electronics and safety solutions across the transport sector. - Software, connectivity and intelligent transport systems
Transport digitalisation creates opportunities for companies specialising in connected services, traffic management, fleet management and data-driven mobility. - Infrastructure and technologies for electric mobility
The rollout of charging infrastructure, rail systems and other transport infrastructure creates opportunities for companies supporting the transition to electrified transport. - Project-based deliveries and partnerships
Major investments in transport systems are often delivered through tenders and partnerships, creating opportunities for companies to grow through collaborations and local networks. - Engineering and advisory services
Demand for sustainable transport and modern infrastructure creates opportunities for companies with expertise in engineering, technical advisory services and system development.
