Maintenance and expansion of railways in the Netherlands costs (the taxpayer) a lot of money. That is why ProRail started a process with NS a few years back to see how maintenance and management can be structurally smarter = less expensive using new digital techniques and smart applications. From many ideas, more than 20 promising solutions were identified and put into a development programme.

As an engineering association, we like to offer this kind of interesting technical development a stage for knowledge exchange. You never know what new contacts and solutions will result from this.

Please note: In view of ProRail security, it is necessary for every participant to be able to identify themselves with driving licence, ID card or passport for entry on 6 November.
