The 13th International Exhibition of Railway Technology will take place from 28 – 30 March 2023 at Lille Grand Palais in France

SIFER is a unique international railway meeting point in France. For over 20 years the event has been reuniting all the stakeholders of the industry: rail operators, infrastructure authorities, vehicle builders, suppliers, rail transport policy makers and planners. After two challenging years affected by the pandemic, the organisers at Mack-Brooks Exhibitions are happy to continue supporting the rail sector by holding the next edition of SIFER. The event aims at reinforcing the commitment to meet stakeholders’ expectations in terms of networking, business opportunities and keeping up to date with market trends.

SIFER 2021 review: thrill to meet again and hope for the future

The 12th edition of SIFER, France’s only B2B meeting entirely dedicated to the railway industry, has just ended. A total of 7,600 key players from the sector, of which 4,100 were visitors, gathered at the heart of Europe’s leading rail region to showcase their technologies, engage in conversations and spark up new business opportunities. Smiles and positivity were omnipresent in the aisles throughout the 3 days of the show, illustrating the joy felt by all professionals to “meet again after 18 months without an event of this stature”, as explained Nicola Hamann, Managing Director at Mack-Brooks Exhibitions, during the opening ceremony. The audience was also reminded of SIFER’s role as the “ultimate networking platform for the industry to imagine and bring to life the rail network of tomorrow”.
