Cargo Conference Belgrade 2024

Why Should You Attend the Conference?

Railway infrastructure, intermodal terminals, and freight transport services are being intensively improved, and the Belgrade-based conference will provide an opportunity to present all routes, highlight transit times, and discuss the efficiency of this mode of freight transport.

This is a unique opportunity to showcase the advantages of rail freight transport, as well as an occasion for logistics experts and cargo owners to exchange experiences and explore new opportunities for collaboration.

Some of the conference topics include:

  • What can be transported by rail? What are the potentials, current capabilities, and future prospects?
  • Why should companies choose rail freight transport? What can they expect in terms of costs and transit times?
  • The global intermodal freight transport industry continues to expand rapidly and is ready to absorb optimistic consumption growth. What is the situation in the country and the region?
  • Private and state investments in railway infrastructure.
  • The significance of Serbia and its geostrategic position in attracting foreign operators.

These topics will be addressed through individual presentations, panel discussions, and stage interviews.
